Sivasagar, Historical city in Assam, India

Sivasagar stands 363 kilometers east of Guwahati, featuring three prominent temples: Shivadol, Vishnudol, and Devidol along the Sibsagar tank.

The city functioned as the capital of the Ahom Kingdom from 1699 to 1788, when it was known as Rangpur, until the Burmese invasion in 1819.

The Joysagar tank, covering 318 acres, represents the engineering capabilities of the Ahom period and remains the largest human-made water body in India.

Visitors reach Sivasagar through Jorhat Airport, located 55 kilometers away, or via Simaluguri railway station, situated 16 kilometers from the city center.

The Shivadol temple rises 104 feet high, making it the tallest Shiva temple in India, constructed under Queen Madambika's direction in 1734.
