The architectural styles of terracotta temples vary across regions, reflecting local traditions and influences. The Ghanashyam Dol, also known as Nati Gosain Dol, is a terracotta brick monument located near Joysagar College in Sivasagar District, Assam. It was built during the Ahom period. It is a unique example of the development of terracotta temple architecture in medieval Assam. This study explores the architectural style, ornamental carvings, and historical context of the Ghanashyam Dol. By highlighting the significance of terracotta art in Ahom architecture, this paper seeks to contribute to the broader understanding of regional art history and cultural heritage conservation.
