Da-Parbatia
The ruins of the door frame of Da-Parbatia Temple a few kms. from Tezpur town,
is perhaps the finest and oldest specimen of sculptural or iconoclastic art
in Assam. It's carving has the characteristics of the style of early Gupta School
of sculpture. The door-jambs having two goddesses, Ganga and Yamuna, standing
below with garlands in their hands in artistic pose and elegance are decorated
with beautiful ornamental foliage.
Agnigarh
"Preserving the sweet memory of young lovers", Agnigarh or the rampart,
surrounded by fire, is perhaps the most beautiful tourist spots in Tezpur. According
to legend, Princess Usha, the only daughter of King Bana, was kept inside the
palace which was surrounded by rampart of fire. The present Agnigarh, now only
a hillock facing the mighty Brahmaputra, provides the tourist a soul touching
panoramic view of both the river and Tezpur town.
