Historic Ma-Mahamaya Tank in Gauripur Faces Neglect, Locals Seek Revival
The 200-year-old Ma-Mahamaya tank in Gauripur, Assam, built under Raja Prabhat Chandra Barua, is deteriorating due to neglect by the temple managing committee and local representatives. Originally a site for worship and community activities, the tank and surrounding royal complex have suffered from management issues since the Zamindari system ended in 1957. Efforts like tree planting in 1987 aimed to revive the area, but divisions among stakeholders have hindered restoration, prompting locals to seek heritage preservation.
