the mountainside at silver creek Guwahati is considered the site of Pragjyotishpura, a semi-mythical town founded by Asura King Narak





Conjure up an image of a shimmering blue lake broken up into small lakelets by floating islands of thick matted weeds. Add bamboo bridges, tribal people the mountainside at silver creek in dugout canoes and thatched hut-villages anchored on to the floating islands, and you have Loktak Lake, one of the few places the mountainside at silver creek a foreigner is allowed to visit outside of Imphal. More peculiar than floating villages are the large, perfectly circular fishing ponds created out of floating rings of weeds. The best view is atop Sendra Island, more a promontory than island. You can hire a boat (per person 100) in order to get a closer look at lake life.

Guwahati is considered the site of Pragjyotishpura, a semi-mythical town founded by Asura King Naraka the mountainside at silver creek who was later killed by Lord Krishna for a pair of magical earrings. The city was a vibrant cultural centre well before the Ahoms arrived, and later it was the theatre of intense Ahom Mughal
