The snake stone is a remarkable stone structure in the form of a long snake discovered in a village called Kawegre at Mahendraganj along the international border.
The stone resembles a snake about 20 ft. in length. This snake stone was accidentally dug upon by the villagers of Kawegre during the construction of a road to the village. During the excavation, the villagers also discovered stone idols and earthen pots at the site.
It is only after the excavation of the area can anything concrete be said about the history of the place. History will be re-written, as this archaeological site in South West Garo Hills, is believed to be an important religious centre cast out of mighty Brahmaputra River from the fourth century AD.
The site has not been properly promoted hence very few devotees, tourists and scholars visit this area. It demands an immediate attention, recognition, publicity and research.

TOMB OF MIR JUMLA : 

The tomb of Mir Jumla, the great Mughal General of Emperor Aurangzeb is located at Thakuranbari village on the Assam-Meghalaya border about 8 kms from Ampati.
History has it that Mir Jumla, who was appointed the Governor of Bengal in 1659 by Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, invaded Assam heading a vast army. But the difficult terrain and the malaria prone climate of the area took a heavy toll on the Mughal Army. This forced Mir Jumla to retreat during 1663 without having fully accomplished the subjugation of Assam.
Before he could return to Bengal, the general himself was stricken with malaria and succumbed to the disease on the 30th of March 1663 and his mortal remains were buried on a hillock near Thakuranbari in Garo Hills which is being maintained by the local Mazar Sarif committee.
The tomb reflects a remarkably long grave and bears testimony to the tall height of Mir Jumla.
