Assam with all its natural beauty and mystic charm is home to a unique spiritual mix. Not a frontline pilgrimage destination, the state, nevertheless has its set of temples, mosques, gurdwaras and churches. All the major religious faiths co – exist in the land and have grown into full – fledged ways of living with a set of indigenous spiritual leaders.
The tiny town of Hajo is an eternal example of communal harmony with Hinduism, Islam and Buddhism – all co – existing peacefully. Visit the Hayagriva Madhava Mandir, which is reminiscent of the Jagannath Temple in Puri; pay your respect at the Powa Mecca and witness the power of Shakti in Kamakhya Temple. Sikhism is not much prevalent in Assam but the town of Dhubri at the bank of the Brahmaputra houses a gurdwara (often called Dhubri Saheb) founded by Guru Teg Bahadur in 17th century. Find solace amid all these peaceful abodes and experience serenity.
