Assam's spiritual and religious tour offers a profound journey through some of its most revered sites. Start with the Kamakhya Temple, an ancient and significant Shakti Peetha situated on the Nilachal Hill in Guwahati, known for its tantric rituals and vibrant Ambubachi Mela. Nearby, the Brahmaputra Heritage Park provides a serene environment to appreciate the mighty Brahmaputra River's cultural significance.
Next, visit Borduwa Than in Nagaon, the birthplace of the great Vaishnavite saint Srimanta Sankardev, which holds immense religious and historical importance. Conclude the day at the Mahamrityunjaya Temple in Nagaon, home to the world's largest Shiva Linga, offering a tranquil atmosphere for meditation and prayer.
The next day, head to Majuli, the world's largest river island, for a rich cultural and spiritual experience. Majuli is the epicentre of Assamese neo-Vaishnavism, with numerous Satras (monasteries) established by Srimanta Sankardev. These Satras are not only religious centers but also hubs of art, music, dance, and drama. Visiting Majuli provides a unique opportunity to witness traditional mask-making, enjoy Satriya dance performances, and immerse yourself in the island's serene natural beauty.
