Maidams of Ahom Kings in and around Charaideo are known as ?The Pyramids of Assam?. Both of the pyramids of Egypt and the Maidams of Ahom Kings in Assam were constructed for the same purpose ? burying the bodies of the departed kings and the belief regarding the custom behind those was also the same ? the departed kings would become alive and live a royal life in the other world. The art and sculpture on the bodies of both of the monuments were wonderful and note worthy, but unfortunately the maidams have not got importance as world heritage comparing to pyramids which have been recognized as site of world heritage. The main objective of my project is to get the maidams focused abroad and let the people know about the history and significances of the maidams.
