Shangnyu Travel Information
Ruled
by the chieftain Angh, Shangnyu village is one of the prominent
villages in Mon district. There is a wonderful wooden monument measuring
8 feet in height and 12 feet in breadth which has, it is believed,
been constructed by divine angels. Numerous figures of human beings
and other creatures are carved on it.
Memorial
stones are also found in front of the Angh's palace. History
records that good and friendly relationships existed between
Shangnyu and the Ahom Kings. Shangnyu Angh used to collect taxes
from all the villages under his domain-ranging from Sibsagar
in Assam to the Wanchos in Arunachal Pradesh. |
