The great war of kurukshetra in the mahabharata records a
general of the kauravas named bhagadatta, skilled in fighting from elephants
and hailing from pragjyotishpur. Today pragjyotishpur, the home of the famed
kamakhya temple is known as guwahati- market of gua (betel). Capital to Assam
guwahati is the spring board to all of north east, and nestled in the arms of
lohit or the mighty Brahmaputra is a bustling city. Assam is a land that traces
her roots in the mythology and history of india. Assam tea, the one horned
rhinoceros, gamochas and bihu all add to the mix that makes India distinct.
