A river cruise in Brahmaputra

To reach Umananda Temple devotees has to cross the beautiful river Brahmaputra at Guwahati. The Umananda temple of Assam is situated on the Peacock Island in the middle of the river.

Brahmaputra is one of the major rivers in Asia and in Sanskrit it means “son of Brahma” (the Creator according to the Hindu mythology). The river is navigable for almost entire of its length. It is when this river meets with river Ganga, the biggest delta in the world, Sundarban, is formed. Another interesting thing about the river is that it is one of the very few rivers in the world itself, which carries a male name. And thus flows this majestic river… and true.. one can never step once again into the same river..
