Nestled in the lush Dima Hasao district, Maibang once served as the capital of the Dimasa Kachari kings between the 16th and 18th centuries. The town holds immense historical significance with remnants of ancient stone architectures, carvings, and monoliths scattered across its landscape.
The most notable structure is the Rajbari or the Stone House, a unique two-storied stone monument believed to have been built without mortar. Inscriptions and carvings found here shed light on the once-powerful Dimasa kingdom’s rule and cultural prowess. Surrounded by hills, streams, and a tranquil environment, Maibang today attracts history buffs, archaeologists, and cultural travelers seeking stories of Assam’s lesser-known past.
