In a major boost for Assam’s cultural heritage, the Charaideo Maidam, a burial mound of the Ahom royalty, is expected to be designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site by the end of this year, according to Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma.

During his recent visit to the historic site, CM Sarma revealed that he had urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to nominate the ‘Maidam’ as India’s choice for UNESCO World Heritage Site status. The chief minister expressed confidence that the process would be completed by the end of 2024.

“I had the opportunity to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi and urged him to nominate the Charaideo Maidam as India’s choice for UNESCO World Heritage Site status. I am confident that the process will be completed by the end of this year,” CM Sarma said while addressing an election rally.

The Charaideo Maidam, located in the Charaideo district of Assam, is a significant burial site that holds the remains of the Ahom royalty, a dynasty that ruled the region for over 600 years. The site is renowned for its unique architectural and cultural heritage, making it a prime candidate for UNESCO recognition.

CM Sarma also highlighted the recent visit of Prime Minister Modi to the Kaziranga National Park, which has increased international attention on the popular tourist spot in Assam. The chief minister emphasized the government’s commitment to various welfare schemes, such as ‘Orunodoi’ and ‘Lakhpati Baideo,’ while combining ‘Modi ki guarantee’ with ‘Mama ki Warranty’ to assure the public of continued progress under their leadership.

Earlier in March, a delegation from UNESCO, led by Vishal V Sharma, an Indian citizen and Permanent Representative to UNESCO, visited the historic Maidam site of Charaideo, further promoting the preservation of Assamese cultural heritage on a global platform.

The potential designation of the Charaideo Maidam as a UNESCO World Heritage Site is a significant milestone for Assam, as it would not only recognize the state’s rich cultural legacy but also attract increased international attention and tourism, contributing to the overall development and preservation of the region’s heritage.
