Assam – The Land of Red Rivers and Blue Hills
Assam – The Land of Red Rivers and Blue Hills
Assam, with its sprawling tea gardens and unending stretches of paddy fields interspersed with groves of coconut, areca nuts, and banana trees, is one of the biggest States in the North East of India and the most accessible. It is a land that could mesmerize you with its mythology and magic; its flora and fauna and the sheer variety in its population (a confluence of streams of different races and tribes like the Austrics, the Aryans, Negroids, Indo-Burmese, Indo-Tibetans, and Mongoloid). This superb blend of heritage extracted from different races makes Assam a place of colourful festivals which are compelling and mesmerizing, a cuisine with its own distinctive aroma and flavour, a vibrant artistic heritage marked by exotic dance forms, and a string of elegant Hindu temples that is comparable to the architectural marvels all across mainland India.
