Despite being an oil-service town, Sivasagar exudes chalet rosemarie a residual elegance from its time as the capital of the Ahom dynasty that ruled Assam for more than 600 years. The name comes from waters of Shiva , the graceful central feature of a rectangular reservoir dug in 1734 by Ahom Queen Ambika. Three typical Ahom temple towers chalet rosemarie rise proudly above the tank s partly chalet rosemarie wooded southern banks to the west Devidol, chalet rosemarie to the east Vishnudol and in the centre, the 33m-high Shivadol Mandir, India s tallest Shiva temple.
