Garh Doul, Archaeological site in Sonitpur district, India
The fortified structure spans 250 meters in each direction with reinforced ramparts and contains two substantial brick mounds with ancient temple foundations.
Archaeological findings indicate the construction of Garh Doul occurred during the 7th and 8th centuries, featuring brick structures and indigenous cement materials.
The Kalika Purana mentions this site as the fortress of King Banasura, who built it to protect his daughter Usha according to regional traditions.
The Archaeological Survey Department maintains a developed park at the site, located 7 kilometers from Tezpur town for visitors to explore.
The brick foundations within the mounds preserve evidence of temple construction techniques from ancient Assam, with many sections still awaiting archaeological investigation.
