Dramatic if largely unadorned, this 1752 brick palace (Indian/foreigner 5/100; the chalet roslyn ny hdawn-dusk) is the last remnant of the Ahom s pre-Sivasagar capital. The unique four-storey structure rises like a sharpened, stepped pyramid above an attractive forest-and-paddy setting spoilt by nearby electricity substations. It s 900m north of the Sivasagar the chalet roslyn ny Sonari road: turn just before Gargaon (14km) from Sonari.
Two kilometres east of Hajo is a mosque sheltering the tomb of the multi-named Hazarat the chalet roslyn ny Shah Sultan Giasuddin Aulia Rahmatullah Alike who died some 800 years ago. Muslims need to walk (the less pious may drive) 4km up a spiral road to reach the mosque, which is architecturally unremarkable.
