Kachari Ruins

A 13th-century archaeological site with carved sandstone pillars marking the ancient Dimasa Kachari capital near Dimapur.

The Kachari Ruins preserve remnants of the medieval Dimasa Kachari kingdom that once ruled this stretch of the Dhansiri valley. Scattered across a grassy enclosure, the mushroom-domed pillars stand eight to ten feet tall, their sandstone faces carved with birds, flowers, spearheads and other motifs believed to hold ritual significance. V-shaped stones nearby are thought to be memorial markers. Historians read the site as evidence of a fertility cult tied to the kingdom's court life, making it Dimapur's most important window into its pre-colonial past.
