Sonitpur district, Administrative district in North Assam, India
Sonitpur district spans across the plains between the Himalayan foothills and Brahmaputra Valley, containing multiple rivers that support agricultural activities throughout the region.
The district name originates from Hindu epics, specifically the Bhagavata Purana and Kalika Purana, which mention the city's establishment by Banasura, son of Bali.
The Mahabhairab Temple in Tezpur holds religious ceremonies throughout the year, with Sivaratri festival drawing numerous Hindu devotees to its renovated structure.
The region experiences optimal visiting conditions from October to April, with temperatures between 12°C and 28°C, while summer brings heat and monsoon rains.
The Da Parbatia Gate displays early Gupta period architectural elements through its ancient temple door frame ruins located on the outskirts of Tezpur.
