The Temple sculpture of Assam essentially follows the Nagara Style of architecture. Ornamental foliage and features of Gupta sculpture are also apparent in the temple sculpture of Assam. The Indian sculptors had drawn heavily from Hindu mythology to create beautiful engravings on the temple walls. The earliest known stone sculpture of Assam belongs to the Gupta period. It is found in the Ganga and Yamuna images on the temple door-frame (5th/6th century A.D.) at Da-Parbatiya, Tezpur. 

Examples of sculpture of the Pala and Sena style are found in temples and Namghara or Vaushnavite prayer hall. The figures at Daparbatiya share all the characteristic features of the Classical Art of Gupta period. It is related to the late mature phase of Sarnath School of Indian Art. This type of high class ornate door-way of a temple depicting Ganga and Yamuna can only we seen here. 

Culture and history of Assam has been engraved on the temple walls. Ancient Assam was rule by several kingdoms that included the Varmanas, Salstambhas and Kamarupa-Palas. The Ahom and Koch dynasties followed later. Each of the kingdoms has left behind their artistic wizardry that have been immortalised in the form temple sculpture in Assam. However not many of these temples could survive the ravages of time. Bur certain images have been excavated from different parts of Assam which speak volumes about the ancient sculpture architecture of the Northeast Indian state.
