The mound burial system of the royals of the Ahom dynasty in Assam's Choraideo district can be likened to the royal tombs of ancient China and the pyramids of the Egyptians Pharaohs. The system has been finalised as India's sole nomination for consideration as Unesco World Heritage Site for the year 2023-24. The dossier states that with the shift of the Ahom capital south and eastwards, "moidams have been seen in different parts of northern Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, northern Burma, southern China and northeast India." However, the "cluster of moidams in Choraideo distinguishes itself in scale concentration and being located in the most sacred land of the Taiahoms." Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma on Saturday said the nomination will be submitted to the Unesco office in Paris tonight.from
