Bamuni Hills are located in Tezpur, Assam, India, and are renowned for their archaeological and historical significance.

Among the sculpted panels, one can find depictions of Hindu deities and various mythological narratives. The ruins have been associated with the mythological Sonitpur kingdom, which is mentioned in the Mahabharata.

Place may have historic value. It said that there was a bishnu temple nearly 1000 years back along 4 other temples. Now a days only ruins are there as the temples were broken by earthquake.
