This is a lovely monument and very well maintained. ASI seems to be a doing job of touching up the monument to recreate the past glory.
But they need to give better information to the tourist about the monument and it's special facts.

Built by the mighty ahoms, this place is in sibsagar, assam. Large grounds used during ahom times for bull fights, royal recreation, etc. Now maintained by archaeological dept, torism may be improved by light and sound shows!

Rang Ghar, constructed by the Ahom KingSwargadeo Pramatta Singha, is one of the oldest amphitheatre in the whole of Asia and has often been referred to as the 'Colosseum of the East'. It is the two storied Rang Ghar, which was the royal venue for witnessing a number of games, like buffalo fight, bull fight etc.
Rang Ghar dates back to 1746 AD, when it was basically built for the purpose of amusement and fun. The theatre is a double storied building and on the roof, there is a design of an Ahom royal long boat. It is overall oval in shape, unlike the multi-storied Tolatol Ghar situated just adjacent to it. Every year, during the occasion of Rongali Bihu, Rang Ghar used to be the royal sports pavilion, from which the Ahom kings and nobles witnessed games in the Rupahi Pathar below.

Rang ghr is quite old structure which was lying neglected but lately they have improved, preserved, and now its well maintained surrounded by a beautiful garden roads and lighting. It was the recreation area of the then OHM kings who used to intract with masses and sports and other gathering. Just 2 km from main city on Sivsagar Jorhat Road its a must must visit.

A nice place to visit. It was a monument from Ahom era. During Ahom rule in Assam, it was the central amusement place for the entire kingdom.

This magnificent structure is one of the oldest surviving amphitheaters in Asia. The structure was constructed during the reign of King Swargadeo Singha in AD 1744-1750. This building served as a sports pavillion for the King and other royals. The monument is situated near shibsagar town. There is a minimal fee of 5rs.

It is a two storied building made of thin bricks during the reins of King Pramatta Singha around 350 years ago. This was meant to be an amphitheater for the king and his associates. It is said that the kings used to watch wrestling, bull fights etc sitting on the upper floor of this building. The building is not too big but structure of the roof like an inverted boat made by placing thin overlapping bricks bound by mixture of lime, sand etc. is unique.

The beauty of this place is that it stands lonely with no big structures around this.The small park with rides and flowers add to its attraction.Though there is no characters of amphitheater but still it is known as one of the largest amphitheater,this is probably as the king watched bull fighting from this place.Inside this two storey building though there is nothing but still you can view the old ahom architect inside this.

Every Assamese should visit here. A heritage property which is a important element of our culture. The first Bihu was held in Rang Ghar'r bakori.

It is an Ahom architectural masterpiece but that's about it. Do read up about it before you go there. There were no guides or any information about it. It is a double storied recreational viepoint from where the kings watched bull fights and wrestling matches. They say it is the oldest amphitheater in Asia but frankly I didn't find anything amphitheaterish about it. I found Talatal Ghar (the military station) to be more impressive. The fact that they are all made of thin bricks with lentils, rice and eggs used as mortar is fascinating though.
The inverted boat shaped roof is an interesting variation from many monuments that we saw.
The ticket collector and sentry were rude and behaved quite oddly.
