Upper Assam division

The Upper Assam division spans nine districts along the Brahmaputra River, including Jorhat, Dibrugarh, Dhemaji, Golaghat, Charaideo, Lakhimpur, Majuli, Sivasagar, and Tinsukia.

The region formed the core territory of the Ahom Kingdom, which governed Assam for six centuries and established a sophisticated administrative system.

Each district within Upper Assam maintains distinct traditions, with Majuli's Vaishnavite monasteries and Sivasagar's temples representing different aspects of local heritage.

The division's extensive network of tea gardens produces a substantial portion of India's tea output, while oil fields in Dibrugarh contribute to national energy resources.

The territory contains Majuli, a river island district in the Brahmaputra, where inhabitants practice traditional pottery making using clay from the riverbank.
