The Charaideo necropolis in Assam contains 90 Moidams—royal burial mounds of the Tai-Ahom dynasty. Built from brick, stone or earth, the structures were created over roughly six centuries and integrated with the surrounding hills, forests and water bodies. UNESCO inscribed the site on the World Heritage List in July 2024. The tradition preserves an important chapter of Northeast India's history and ritual landscape. Source: Culture Quantum.
