About Guwahati

Guwahati, the "Gateway to Northeast India," is the largest city in northeastern India and the commercial capital of Assam. Located on the banks of the Brahmaputra River, the city is home to the Kamakhya Temple — one of the most important Shakti Peethas in Hinduism, perched atop Nilachal Hill. The annual Ambubachi Mela at Kamakhya attracts lakhs of tantric practitioners. The city has ancient roots as Pragjyotishpura, the capital of the legendary Kamarupa kingdom. Modern Guwahati is a rapidly growing commercial hub with the IIT Guwahati campus (ranked among India's top IITs), the Assam State Zoo (housing the one-horned rhinoceros), and the Brahmaputra riverfront that forms one of the most dramatic urban landscapes in India.
