Dhubri district

Dhubri is an administrative district in Lower Assam in northeastern India, situated along the Brahmaputra River. The landscape is mostly flat with gentle hills appearing near the borders with Bangladesh and West Bengal.

The district was established in 1983 when it separated from Goalpara district as part of administrative reforms in northeastern India. This division created new boundaries that shaped the region's current governance structure.

Muslim and Hindu communities live side by side, each maintaining their own festivals, prayers, and local customs throughout the year. Walking through villages and towns, you notice different architectural styles and daily rituals that reflect these traditions.

The district's economy relies heavily on farming, with rice paddies, jute fields, and mustard crops shaping the landscape throughout the year. The river provides fishing opportunities and remains essential for local transport and daily activities.

The Panbari Mosque, built between 1493 and 1519, is the oldest Islamic structure in the Assam region. This building reveals medieval architectural traditions and marks an important chapter in the religious history of northeastern India.
