Northbrook Gate, Colonial gateway in Panbazar, Guwahati, India

The Northbrook Gate features twelve limestone and brick arches arranged with five on each long side and one on each shorter end.

Built in 1874, this gate welcomed Lord Northbrook as the first British viceroy to visit Assam, marking a significant moment in colonial administration.

The gate served as a temporary resting place for Mahatma Gandhi's ashes before their immersion in the Brahmaputra River, connecting it to India's independence.

Located near Sukreswar Ghat along the Brahmaputra River, visitors can reach the gate through the main roads of Panbazar district.

The structure combines architectural elements from King's College Chapel in England with Indian temple designs, creating a distinct Indo-Gothic style.
