Talatal Ghar, Palace in Sivasagar, India

Talatal Ghar is a seven-story architectural structure featuring three underground levels and four above-ground floors connected by narrow passages.

The palace, built between 1751 and 1769 during the Ahom dynasty rule, served as both a residential complex and military stronghold.

The architectural design incorporates traditional Assamese elements with Mughal influences, including sandstone motifs and carved pillars throughout the structure.

The underground chambers of the palace functioned as storage spaces and stables, while the upper floors housed royal apartments and meeting halls.

Two secret tunnels connected to the palace provided escape routes during enemy attacks, demonstrating the strategic planning of Ahom architecture.
