GUWAHATI: In Assam, where tradition and history intertwine with daily life, Brajen Kalita, a young artisan, has captured the essence of Assamese culture in a remarkable piece of art.

Inspired by his deep admiration for both the iconic Rang Ghar in Sivsagar and the versatile bamboo, Kalita has crafted an extraordinary replica that pays homage to the rich heritage of his homeland.

With exceptional precision and skill, Kalita sculpted the intricate architecture of the Rang Ghar onto a bamboo log, showcasing his mastery over the medium.

The replica, true to the original, features the distinctive inverted Ahom royal long boat-shaped roof and a series of arched entrances adorning its base.

Perched atop the roof are two exquisitely carved stone crocodiles, adding to the authenticity of Kalita’s creation.

But Kalita’s journey to artistic acclaim has not been without its challenges.

Raised in adversity after losing his father at a young age, Kalita found solace and purpose in his love for art.

Despite being the sole provider for his family, he pursued his passion with determination, supported by a mentor who recognised his talent and nurtured it through tough times.

The Rang Ghar, a symbol of Assamese heritage, holds a special place in the hearts of the people.

Built in 1744 by the Ahom ruler Pramatta Singha, this amphitheatre served as the royal spectator’s box for various sports and cultural events, including elephant and buffalo fights.

Its unique construction, using a mixture of pulse, duck eggs, fish, and powdered lime, reflects the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the Ahom dynasty.

Kalita’s bamboo replica not only honours the architectural marvel of the Rang Ghar but also celebrates the resilience and creativity of the Assamese people.
