Assam

The state territory stretches along the Brahmaputra River valley, bordered by seven Indian states and the nations of Bangladesh and Bhutan.

The region transformed from the ancient kingdom of Kamarupa through the Ahom dynasty rule until 1826, when it became part of British-controlled territories.

The state hosts three annual Bihu festivals that mark different agricultural phases, featuring traditional dance performances and community gatherings across villages.

Assam produces 52 percent of India's tea output across extensive plantations in the Brahmaputra Valley, employing over one million workers in the industry.

Kaziranga National Park within Assam contains two-thirds of the global population of Indian one-horned rhinoceros and maintains high-density tiger populations.
