Overview

Rows of mushroom-shaped megalithic pillars — remnants of the 10th–13th-century Kachari (Dimasa) kingdom that ruled before the Ahoms.

Why visit: Nagaland's most important pre-colonial monument, mysterious and photogenic.

History: The enigmatic carved monoliths, some phallic, likely marked a royal ceremonial or fertility site; their exact purpose remains debated.
