Again visit at Namphake Buddhist Monastery, Naharkatiya, Assam (INDIA) 🇮🇳

Namphake is a Buddhist village inhabited by Tai Phake community. Now, Tai is a large linguistic group that has many branches. They originated somewhere in the region covering Southern China and SE Asia and migrated to nearby areas including Myanmar and NE India. The most famous of them is of course the Thai people of Thailand while in Assam the Ahoms are the most populous and well-known Tai group as they ruled the region for a long time.
However, there are many other small but distinct groups that exist and there are five different Tai groups that arrived here from Myanmar by crossing the Patkais. These include the aforementioned Ahoms, Tai Phake, Tai Aiton, Tai Turung, Tai Khamti, and Tai Khamyang. Not all of them arrived at the same time but they came here gradually, during different waves over a period of 5-6 centuries. They now inhabit various parts of eastern Assam and Arunachal Pradesh.
Ahoms went on to rule Assam and most of them became Hindus but the other small Tai Communities have maintained their separate identities and they usually follow Theravada Buddhism and have close contact with Myanmar and Thailand. That’s why monasteries and pagodas of various sizes can be seen in this region. The giant Golden Pagoda in Namsai is famous but there are many others. My destination Namphake village is also built around a monastery.
We reached the village soon and saw the monastery. Before entering the monastery, we decided to explore the rest of the village, which is located on the bank of Burhidihing, one of the major tributaries of Brahmaputra. On the opposite side of the monastery, we saw a biggish, two-storied building.
