Guwahati, Metropolitan center in Kamrup district, India

Located on the south bank of Brahmaputra River, Guwahati extends across an urban area containing multiple ancient temples and commercial districts.

The settlement originated as Pragjyotishpura in the 2nd century BCE and developed into a major urban center during the Kamarupa kingdom period.

The Kamakhya Temple complex stands as the primary religious site, drawing thousands of pilgrims who participate in ceremonies throughout the year.

The Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport connects Guwahati with major Indian cities, while the tea auction center handles millions of kilograms annually.

The city contains several water reservoirs called pukhuris, including Dighalipukhuri, which served as a naval base during the Ahom dynasty.
