The best-preserved relics of the architecture of the Buddhist period.

The best-preserved relics of the architecture of the Salasthambha period are the remains of the five rock-cut caves at Jogighopa on the bank of the Brahmaputra in the district of Bongaigaon, though these rock-cut caves are not of such architectural interest as those in Western India and contain no sculptures. The best-preserved cave is 2.60 m wide, 1.8 m deep and 1.90 m high and has a roughly rounded ceiling and a 75 cm x 35 cm verandah in front. Flights of steps have been cut into the rock on either side and a ledge on the top diverts rain water from the facade. The other caves at the site have neither steps nor verandahs and are smaller.
