EASTERN ITAFORT ITANAGAR ARUNACHAL PRADESH, INDIA
EASTERN ITAFORT ITANAGAR ARUNACHAL PRADESH
Ita Fort in Itanagar town, is one of the most important historical sites in the state of Arunachal Pradesh, India. The name literally means “Fort of bricks”was built as early as the 14th or the 15th century. On hearing the name of Arunachal Pradesh, the first thing that comes in our mind is Mountains, monasteries, gompa, lush greenery, snow capped mountain. But do you know, Arunachal Pradesh is equally rich in cultural heritage.
1.The traces of political and cultural forces from Bramhaputra valley extending into the hills under which fall the ruins of forts, temple, ponds and ruins
2.The structure of Buddhist culture in the form of monastery, gompas and stupas
3.The stray traces of past events from the local history.
The Ita Fort excavated in the year of 1977 and it is said to be built between 1350 and 1450 AD during the periods of Muslim invasion on Assam. Ita fort has been identified with Mayapur which was the capital of King Ramachandra, the last king of Jitari dynesty in 11th century. However, there is a controversy regarding the date and builder of the Ita fort. Lila Gogoi, an authority on the Buranjis (a class of historical chronicles and manuscripts written initially in the Ahom) of Assam, reveals the fact that Ita Fort was built by the Ahom King Chakradhwaj Simha in 1688 A.D.

The stone work of the Ita Fort covers an area of 45 cubic meters and around 80 lakhs of bricks were required to erect the structure of the fort during that era. The eastern gate is built on stone masonry, overlooks Doimukh in the Dikrang valley. This gate is heavily damaged. The southern gate is built largely in brick and limited use of stone, stone-slabs, animated and floral designs were used for the door ways. Though the doors are completely lost, from the orientation of the gate the purpose is clear that is to check the enemy from Gohpur and Ramghat in the south. The ruins at the gate reveals that comparatively less defence rrangements existed in this area. Itanagar Lilabari Airport is the nearest Airport to Itanagar. From the airport, it is 72 KM and will take 2.5 hour to reach Itanagar. The nearest railway station is Naharlagun which is only 18 KM far from Itanagar.
You are in the capital of Arunachal Pradesh. So, there are numerous number of stay options in the market area from various range. I am mentioning very few of them. But keep faith on me that you will get much better option for accommodation on spot and at cheap rate.
