| Abstract: | Garh Doul, situated in Tarajan Kumargaon, close to Tezpur in Assam, is an exceptional archaeological site where early medieval urbanization, religious architecture, and regional mythology converge. This article presents a critical study of the historical, cultural, and mythological aspects of Garh Doul based on archaeological evidence, ancient texts like the Kalika Purana, and rich oral traditions passed down by local populations. Dated as having been constructed in the 7th–8th centuries CE, perhaps by the mythical King Banasura of Mahabharata renown, Garh Doul consists of brick temple tumuli, moats, and fortifications indicative of it having had both sacred and strategic functions in the past. The site is strongly rooted in local mythologies, with legends describing it as the focal point of divine passion, cosmic struggle, and miraculous intervention. Garh Doul today is still a "living monument," maintaining lively worship and cultural festivals through grass-roots efforts, even as it has struggled with extensive degradation owing to environmental exposure, abandonment, and scarce conservation resources. By combining archaeological investigation with local folklore, this article sheds light on Garh Doul as a timeless centre of Assamese identity and insists on the critical need for sustainable, community-based heritage conservation. |
