2. WELCOME TO GUWAHATI (ASSAM)

Assam, "The Land of the Red River and Blue Hills", is a place of magical beauty and bewildering diversity.Its jungles are dense, its rivers powerful and rainstorms sweep across the hills and plains during the annualmonsoon. Assam is famous for its tea gardens and one-horned rhinoceros. The mighty river Brahmaputra, having

its origin in Tibet, dominates the State of Assam.Straddling either of the banks of Brahmaputra, Guwahati said to be the legendary "Pragjyotishpur - City of

Eastern Light" - is a bustling, busy and crowded city. Guwahati, the most thriving metropolis of North East Indiaand the capital city of Assam is situated on the bank of the river Brahmaputra, the Louhitya or the Eastern Sea asdescribed in the ancient literary works. Many dynasties here contributed in shaping its great culture.

In the epic ages, the city was known as Pragjyotishpura, the land of eastern light. An account of the land andits capital is found in the Kalika Purana as well as many other ancient literatures, such as, the Bhagavata Purana,the Harivamsa and in the Vishnuite Purana. Pragjyotishpur was was once the capital of Danava king Naraka'sKingdom. Archeological findings as well as historical literature have proved that the present city of Guwahati isnothing but the old historic Pragjyotishpura.

The city since ancient times had trade relationship with mainland India, evidence of which is found in Koutilya'sArthasastra. The Chinese traveller Huan-Tsang who visited Kamrupa in 7thCentury AD gave an account of thedays of Kumar Bhaskar Varmana, the then ruler of Kamrupa. It is in the Pragjyotishpura where the first calcu-lation of the stars was made as mentioned in the Kalika Purna.

Guwahati, the name of the Pragjyotishpura was beautifully describe by the king BalavarmanII (875-890) as---- "Tambulavalliparinaddhapugam Krisnagurskdhanivesitailam Sa Kamrupe Jit Kamrupha ProgjyotishakhyangPuramadhyubas." (In the city of Pragjyotish, the capital of Kamrupa, there were rows of areca nut tree wrappedround by betel vine and black aloe wood surrounded by cardamom creepers.)

The city remained sub capital throughout the long period of Ahom rule till the arrival of the British. In themedieval period, the city witnessed several invasion of the muslim rulers from the west, the imprint of which canbe seen in Guwahati and nearby Hajo.

The Ahom King Chakradhwaj Singh, who came into throne in 1663AD decided to capture Guwahati fromthe Muhammedans. In 1667, he sent a huge force under the leadership of Lachit Barphukan, the great general of the State of all time. Under him the Ahom defeated the Mughals in the famous Battle of Saraighat and Guwahaticame under the Ahoms. The Saraighat bridge constructed in 1962 connecting the North and South bank of theBrahmaputra commemorates this historic victory.

The city has many historically important sites as well as tourist attractions, such as -the temple of MotherGoddess Kamakhya and Bhubneswari temple in the Nilachal Hillocks, the Umnanda in Kranta on the north bank

of Brahmaputra, Navagraha in the Kanwasal hillock where the Lord Brahma did the astrological works etc. TheVasisthashrama, where the saint Vasistha, the celestial son of lord Brahma, worshipped regularly, is a majortourist attraction. The hilly brooks, Sandhya, Lalita and Kanta with their babbling rapids refresh the mind of thevisitors. The Sukreswara temple at the heart of the city which was installed by saint Sukracharyya is anotherattraction with prehistoric significance.

The Srimanta Sankardev Kalakshetra which has become the showcase of Assamese art and culture is a

new addition to the glory of modern Guwahati. People coming from outside the State could easily feel the glimpseof the rich culture of the State here. Similarly, the Indian institute of Technology, Guwahati and the newly con-structed Secretariat complex are some other important features of modern developing Guwahati.

Guwahati, the gate way of the present north east India is now the busiest of all the towns and cities of theregion. The city is emerging as a great hub of commercial activities, academic institutions and cultural centre.People, not only from the north eastern States but also from other parts of the country throng to the city for betterlife and opportunities.

It is now considered that this 74th IRC Annual Session will open the door to the people of this region tohave the privilege to interact with the rest of the country in developing its technical ideas in reference with itsgeographic condition.
