Guwahati is commonly known as the “Gateway to
the Northeast”. This hill-ringed, green-woded,
river-bordered urban centre was also known as the
Pragjyotishpura or the Light of the East, in the
ancient times and was a vast kingdom during the epic
period of the Mahabharata. The word Guwahati is made
up of two words, ‘Guwa’, which means areca nut, and ‘hatt’,
which means bazaar. Today, Guwahati is the commercial
hub of the region and is known by a moniker that
emphasizes its ‘marketplace’ character. Guwahati is
also the largest city. Today, Dispur, the area in
south Guwahati is the official seat of the Assam
Government. Assam as a whole is rich in its temples.
Most of the temples around Guwahati are perched on
hills or on hillsides, which afford panoramic views of
the vast Brahmaputra and as well as of the bustling
city itself. Indo Vacations provides you best
