Summary
A notable mound-burial system, or 'Moidam,' of Dasarath Bohikhowa Barphukan in Khowang, Dibrugarh, Assam, sheds light on the Ahom dynasty's burial traditions and the contributions of a prominent official. This structure, part of the Tai-Ahom entombment practice known as the 'Pyramids of Assam,' reflects the cultural and historical significance of the region. The study, relying primarily on secondary data from published sources and supported by field observations and local interviews, provides insights into Ahom society's hierarchical structures through the lens of this official's legacy. Such findings contribute to a broader understanding of the Moidam system's role in preserving Ahom heritage.
