The perfect blend of a beauteous tranquil fairyland interwoven with a splendorous cultural heritage stays nestled on the banks of India's longest river, the free-flowing Brahmaputra. A charming bird shaped Indian state with abundant tea gardens, cascading waterfalls, religious places and hill stations, it can be aptly called 'Awesome Assam'
The religious architecture and holy places of Assam have both historical significance as well as are based on ancient legends and mythology. From the very popular Kamakhya temple to the Powa - Mecca, and from the Gurudwara Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib to the Vaishnavite culture, the state showcases an opulence of religious diversity and is a meeting ground for people of all religions and cultures. The serene atmosphere of these places are a good spiritual getaway and hence have become pilgrimage centres too, apart from being tourist destinations.
“Far away mountains and a deep blue lake, So much beauty, our breath they take, Heavenly songs and heavenly scenes, The touch of the softest grass, grasps and tickles my toes…….” Aufie Zophy
