Places of Interest in Assam
GUWAHATI: Guwahati has several
places of historical interest. Perhaps the biggest attraction is the Kamakhya
Temple atop Nilachal hill, where the Goddess Kamakhya is worshipped and which
commands a majestic view of the city and the river. Guwahati is actually two
words: Guwa meaning areca nuts. Although guwahati is the most important commercial
hub of the region, this capital of Assam is located at the adjoining township
of Dispur.
