"Icomos Consulted The State Party About Whether The Nominated Property Should Be Evaluated As A Cultural Landscape. Icomos Considers That The Presence Of The Tai-Ahom For Six Centuries Has Contributed To The Cultural, Historical And Spiritual Richness Of The Site, And That The Natural Landscape Was Selected And Modified For This Purpose. (...)The State Party Was Not In Favour Of This Possibility Because Of The Specific Architectural Characteristics, The Lack Of A Seamless Integration With The Natural Environment, And The Relatively Modest Size Of The Nominated Property."
