Naksaparbat is a prominent archaeological site situated in
East Kameng District of
Arunachal Pradesh. It lies on the left bank of the river Borgang and is about 27 km from
Biswanath Chariali in
Sonitpur District.
The archeological excavations held here had revealed a good number of monuments and artifacts. These include different types of pot shards, large number of stones and pillars, various types of iron implements, terracotta beads, glass fragments, a silver coin of Sultan Samsuddin, copper coin of King George VI, burnt rice, paddy and Rudraksha beads.
Traces of about 20 house plinths and a few raised strips, inter linking stone and brick footpaths, approach roads, a huge stone-lined well and two ponds are found among the ruins.
All these relics are scattered over an area of about 6 km and the entire built up area is 1300 m with the stone-built portion of the ramparts measuring 300 m.
According to the materials discovered, it is concluded that Naksaparbat civilization had flourished during a chaotic period between 13th-14th centuries and they may also have come into contact with Muslims as several Muslim invasions had taken place in neighboring Assam during that period.
