Rock Cut Caves In Assam
The spellbinding specimens of the architecture are visible as the remains of the five rock-cut caves at Jogighopa on the bank of the Brahmaputra River in the district of Bongaigaon. Although, most of the studies say that the caves were established during the Salasthamba period each of the caves has a brick and mud masonry made platform, which is in all probability was built during a later period. The art and architecture of the caves are great examples of the kind of art which were practiced during this time mainly in the western part of India. This translates to the fact that though far away, Assam was not cut off from the artistic movement in other parts of the country. These rock caves are under the protection and preservation of the Archaeological Survey of India. The best-preserved cave too did not have a sculptural design.
