You have to try laughter and music that is unique in this part of the world. Thengal house was built in 1929 by Rai Bahadur Shiv Prasad Baruah. It was intended to accommodate two brothers, Shiv Prasad Baruah and Shashi Prasad Baruah, and their families in the common family structure. At a time when both brothers were living there with their families, about 100 people came for lunch and dinner every day, and many people came to stay as guests.

In 1943 the building was damaged by a major earthquake when the house had to be temporarily vacated for repairs. After the building was repaired, the families lived in the house until 1950, when the largest earthquake to date in the northeast severely damaged the building. The house was abandoned and members of both families moved to Calcutta, the city of Jorhat and the tea gardens. The property remained unused for 13 years between 1950 and 1963.

The house was not used until the repairs were carried out by Mr. HP Barooah. At that point the ancestral land had been divided and fell on Mr. Barooah’s share in favor of his family. Although the house was repaired in 1965, no one lived in the house as Mr. Barooah had meanwhile built his own house – Villa Club Road in Jorhat City. The public took several steps to convert this home into a museum, hospital, library, college, etc. However, the family realized that this house is for residential use only and is not suitable for conversion into a museum, hospital, library, college, etc.
