The first European to describe these ruins was Mr. Grange, who visited the locality in 1839. At that time the Kachāris still preserved traditions of their rule there, and attributed the erection of the city to “Chakradhvaj, the fourth Kachāri king.” They ascribed its destruction to Kālā Pāhār, but admitted that they were defeated by the Ahoms about the same time. There are similar remains of another old city at Kāsomāi Pathār, near the Doyang river. The site of this city also is now covered with forest. It has not yet been completely examined.
