About Guwahati and Tourist Attractions
Guwahati, known as Pragjyotispura (Astrology City of East) in ancient times, derives its name from Assamese words “Guwa”, the areca nut, and “Haat”, the market. According to an ancient legend, the demon king “Narakasura” is said to have built this city. The city has unique scenic beauty due to its hilly and plain terrains, wide range of flora and fauna, and the mighty Brahmaputra bisecting the city into two halves. The city is well connected by air, rail and road to the rest of the country, and enjoys a very pleasant weather in December, with an average temperature between 10-22o C
Guwahati enjoys the cultural diversity with people from various religions and cultures living in peace and harmony. Some of the key attractions of Guwahati and its neighborhood are the Kamakhya Temple located on the top of Nilachal hill, the Shiv Temple of Umananda located on Peacock island in the middle of the river Brahmaputra, the Basistha Ashram at the confluence of three streams, the Navagraha Temple- the “temple of nine planets”, the Pabitora wild-life sanctuary for rhinos, and the weaving village of Soalkuchi.
