About:
"Rang Ghar was constructed by the Ahom king Swargadeo Pramatta Singha in the year 1746, for watching various games during the festival of Bihu and is situated in Assam’s Sibsagar district. This royal 10-meter long double storied pavilion is one of the oldest and well-preserved amphitheaters in the whole of Asia. This ancient amphitheater is often referred to as the 'Colosseum of the East.' Rang Ghar, means “the house of entertainment”, and bears testimony to the Ahom architecture style and the culture of Assam." It is built with locally sourced materials like unique, thin, baked bricks, which were made from a perfect amalgamation of Bora Chaul (a sticky variety of rice), pulses called Maati Maah, a fish named Borali Mach, and eggs, powdered mixed lime to cover the surface of the inner walls, as it was believed that this layer of powder used to keep the inside of the Rang Ghar cool.
