About Guwahati
The Gateway to Northeast India
Guwahati, the largest city in the Indian state of Assam, is often regarded as the gateway to Northeast India. Nestled along the banks of the mighty Brahmaputra River and embraced by surrounding hills, the city offers a unique blend of natural beauty and urban development.
Historically known as Pragjyotishpur, Guwahati holds deep mythological and historical significance. It is home to ancient and revered temples such as the Kamakhya Temple, Navagraha Temple, and Umananda Temple, which draw pilgrims and spiritual seekers from across the country.
Beyond its spiritual allure, Guwahati serves as a vital cultural, commercial, and educational hub for the entire northeastern region. The presence of premier institutions like the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Guwahati and Gauhati University highlights its academic prominence.
Despite its urban growth, the city maintains its ecological significance, with sites like Deepor Beel, a Ramsar-designated wetland, supporting diverse flora and fauna.
