Khaspur Road

Khaspur Road in Cachar, Assam, leads to the historic village of Khaspur, which is known for its rich heritage and archaeological significance. Located about 20 kilometers from Silchar, Khaspur was once the capital of the Dimasa Kingdom and still holds remnants of its glorious past. The village is home to ancient ruins, including the king’s temple, the Lion Gate, and the Sun Gate, which stand as silent witnesses to the region’s history.

Though the king’s palace has largely disappeared, the grand entrance gates, designed in an elephant pattern, remain intact, offering a glimpse into the architectural style of the era. Originally part of the Tripura Kingdom, Khaspur later came under the rule of the Kachari kings, who shifted their capital to this location. The village’s historical significance makes it a fascinating destination for those interested in Assam’s past.

While Khaspur itself is a quiet place with limited attractions beyond its ruins, its proximity to Silchar allows visitors to explore other nearby destinations. Maibong, a scenic hill station, offers breathtaking views and ancient architecture, while Umrangshu in North Cachar is known for its picturesque landscapes and a nearby hot spring.
