"Rang Ghar' to get a facelift.

The Assam chief minister performed the "bhoomi pujan" for a beautification project of the architectural heritage. The PM had laid the foundation stone for the project in April last year.

Built during the reign of Ahom ruler Swargadeo Rudra Singha in 1744, Rang Ghar is Asia's oldest surviving amphitheatre and a symbol of Assam's cultural heritage. It stands tall near Sivasagar town in upper Assam.

It's a two-storey building, constructed specially for enjoyment of recreational/sports activities by the royal families of the Ahom dynasty.

The state's architecture took a new form after Swargadeo Rudra Singha had established the capital at Rangpur. The Doul Pukhuri dug under his stewardship added a new dimension to the glory of Rangpur.

The project's outlay entails a financial outlay of Rs.140 crores and it would be completed and dedicated to the people before 2026.

The beautification plan includes building an encroachment-free perimeter, an amphitheatre with seating capacity for 3,000 people and other amenities.


Tailpiece.

Got up at a quarter to 6, the chores and was ready by a half past 9.

Today, the working party consisted of four workers to get the exterior levelled up.

A quiet evening.
