TEMPLES IN TEZPUR DISTRICT |

|
OTHER
REMAINS
The other temple remains that exist in or near Tezpur are undoubtedly 'extensive and
varied in character.' Some of these remains came to light by chance excavation. At the
time of the construction of a Deputy Commissioner's office in Tezpur in the year 1906 the
remains of an ancient building of great artistic merit were discovered. These remains were
removed, in the first instance, to the compounds of European officers and the Tea-planters
Club from where they were finally shifted to and arranged at the Cole Park. Prof. R. D.
Banerji who visited the park gives the following description about the artistic merit of
these remains: -
"On examination of the remains in the park at Tezpur and those preserved in the
Planters' Association or Club at the same place I find that the carvings belong to three
different periods of history and therefore must have belonged, at least to three separate
buildings. |
