The Talatal Ghar, also known as the Rangpur Palace, is a remarkable example of Tai Ahom architecture located in the northern region of Assam. Nestled in the heart of the Ahom Kingdom's capital, Rangpur, this splendid palace was initially constructed as a military stronghold by the illustrious Ahom Swargadeo Rajeswar Singha during the years 1751 AD to 1769 AD. Interestingly, this refined edifice boasts a pair of tunnels and three subterranean floors ingeniously designed to enable rapid evacuation for the monarch and his troops in the event of a crisis. The intricate maze-like layout of the passageways was crafted with such precision that any hostile invaders who dared to breach the stronghold would be left hopelessly disoriented and lost amidst the labyrinthine alleys.
