Biswanath district, Administrative district in North Assam division, India

Biswanath district spans 1,415 square kilometers along the Brahmaputra River, bordered by Arunachal Pradesh, Golaghat, Lakhimpur, and Sonitpur districts.

The district territory belonged to the Chutiya kingdom until the 16th century, when the Ahom dynasty annexed it and constructed fortifications at Buroi and Pratapgarh.

The district population includes Assamese, Bodo, Mising, Bengali, Mundari, and Karbi communities, each maintaining their distinct languages and traditions.

The district headquarters at Biswanath Chariali connects to other regions through railway stations at Gohpur, Helem, and Dubia, facilitating transportation across Assam.

Local artisans in the district maintain traditional craftsmanship methods, producing specialized bamboo and cane products that represent regional manufacturing techniques.
