Sightseeing /
Attractions:
This city's main feature is
the water body from which it
gets its name. This is a 257
acre tank also called
Borpukhuri, at a higher
elevation than the rest of
the town, with three temples
("Dol"s in Assamese) on its
banks. Of these temples, the
most prominent is the
Sivadol, standing tall at
104 feet, drawing large
crowds on Shiv Ratri. The
other temples are the
Vishnudol and Devidol. The
temples were built in the
year 1734.
Other attractions include
the Rang Ghar, the
double-storied, oval shaped
amphitheatre with a roof
which is shaped like an
inverted boat, and the
seven-storied, Talatol Ghar.
The latter is a palace with
two secret tunnels and three
floors underground. Joysagar
is said to be the biggest
man-made lake in the
country, it spreads over 318
acres of water on the edge
of the town in an area
called Rangpur. A new
addition is the Ahom Museum
on the bank of the Sibsagar.
It stores artifacts of the
rulers, including swords,
clothes, manuscripts,
goblets and platters. The
ancient capital of the Ahoms
is Gargaon about 13 km east
from Sibsagar, where the
major draw is the Kareng
Ghar, a seven-storied palace
built by 18th century
architects.

Sibsagar to Dibrugarh, one
of the major tea-producing
centres of the subcontinent.
