Dewangiri

Dewangiri was a northern part of Kamrup, measuring 32 square miles (83 km²), which was ceded to Bhutan, where it is called Deothang, in 1951.^[1][2] The area contains ruins of ancient temples and loose structures. In modern times it lost its earlier importance. It was used only for winter grazing of Bhutanese animals for an annual fee to India before it was ceded to Bhutan.^[3]
