About:
Maidams are the burial place of the Ahom kings, queens, and noble and is derived from the Thai word Phrang mai-dam or mai-tam which means to put into the grave or to bury, and dam means the spirit of the dead. There are four maidams at Charaideo under the Archeological Survey of India. These are Maidam No.1, No.2, No.3, and No.4. Though Maidams are found in all the districts of Upper Assam, Charaideo, the first capital of the Ahoms was the necropolis of almost all the Ahom Royals. Ahoms traditionally buried their dead. A Maidam consists of three major features: a massive vault or chamber, a hemispherical earthen mound covering the chamber with a brick structure (Chow-Chali) over it for annual offerings and an octagonal boundary wall around the base of the mound having an arched gateway on its west.
