CULTURE & HISTORY OF ASSAM
 Assam has been aptly described by some as ‘the Shangrila of the North-
Eastern India’ – a state having breathtaking scenic beauty, rarest floras and
faunas, lofty hills, lush tea gardens, undulating plains, mighty waterways,
dense forests, fertile valleys, etc. It lies as a jewel of exquisite beauty and
charm on the Northeastern horizon of India. Since the days of Hiuen-Tsang
it has fascinated the rest of the world with her aura of myth and
mysteries, history and folklore, music and dance.
 Assam can be divided into three natural regions, namely the Brahmaputra valley, the Barak valley and the Hilly regions.
These regions are quite distinct from one another with regard to the composition of people, manner of living and culture.
The mighty Brahmaputra along with Barak has nourished the state from time immemorial and has been a source of solace
as well as a source of sorrow for the people of the state.
 Nature has abundantly blessed Assam with charming sights and exciting natural scenery. Kaziranga National Park and
Manas Sanctuary are the chief tourist centres famous for Royal Bengal tiger, one-horned rhinos and golden langur. The
other attractions of the state are the famous Kamakhya temple near Guwahati, Umananda temple, Navagraha temple,
Kareng Ghar, Rang ghar, Talatal Ghar, Majuli island, Jatinga, etc
 Nestling in the Himalayan foothills the state is rich in cultural heritage, natural beauty, and mineral resources. There is
no denying the fact that the state of Assam during the last fifty years has made great strides in many fields. But a lot
more remains to be done to bring the state to the forefront of development and progress. Given better political
stability, adequate stress on industrialisation, proper utilisation of resources available and less militancy, the state can
leap forward to an era of prosperity and all-round development.
