Bhismaknagar ruins

Bhismaknagar is an archeological site in Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh. It is located east of Roing in Lower Dibang Valley district. The remains are ascribed to the rule of the Chutias, a Tibeto-Burmn ethnic group, who ruled over the region of Sadiya from the 11th to the 16th Century CE. It formed part of the historical Sadhayapura capital region of the Chutia kingdom and can be identified with the fortified hill city of Doi-Thang described in the Buranjis. Doi-Thang (also known as Thanggiri), was one of the three fortified cities mentioned in the Buranjis, the others being Barnagar (Che-lung in Tai) and Chandangiri (Doi-Chantan). The original fort may have been associated with the line of hill-foot forts attributed to the Chutia king Gaurinarayan. According to the Chutia chronicles, Gaurinarayan, after consolidating his kingdom, “built a line of forts along the foot of the hills”, along with large tanks and temples. During an Assam Rifles expedition in 1919–20, British officer L. W. Shakespear recorded traces of tanks, numerous plinths and stone platforms within the fortified enclosure, including a large brick plinth and the brick foundations of an extensive building. Excavations have yielded roof tiles and decorative finials, providing evidence for the use of tiled roofing in at least some structures within the fortified settlement.
