    1 Guwahati Package # 2 Bicycle Trail-2

    Package #1 Bicycle Trail -1 Guwahati There are several man made water tanks in Guwahati, called pukhuris in Assamese. These serve as major landmarks of the city. One can avail bicycles on hire and visit the pukhuris. The Northbrook Gate, was constructed to welcome British viceroy Lord Northbrook who visited Guwahati in 1874. The gate was built near Sukreswar Ghat where the viceroy anchored his ship. It is the only monument and lone surviving brick architecture from colonial times. Nag Pota Pukhuri was constructed by the Ahom king Swargadeo Parmatma Singha. This tank derived its name from the Assamese custom of serpent worship. Commissioned by Swargadeo Rajeshwar Singha, Silpukhuri originally known as Nau Kunia Puhkuri ( nine – cornered tank) had nine wells dug around the corners. The water is believed to have been used to perform the ritualistic bath invoking the Nabagraha (Nine Planets). The true heart of the city namely Dighalipukhuri, is a man made rectangular tank around 805 m long. According to legends a canal was dug from the river Brahmaputra by King Bhagadatta and was used by the Ahoms as the naval yard during the ancient times. Towards the eastern side of Dighalipukhuri lies Jorpukhuri, a pair of tanks separated by a road.It was built to connect with the river Brahmaputra via the Naojan channel which was operable for the naval ships and boats used by the Ahom royalties who visited the Ugratara temple.

The world is passing through a difficult time with a rapidly evolving pandemic enveloping all of us since the beginning of this year! The emerging public health emergency situation has claimed close to three and a half lakh lives and the figures are rapidly changing every second. We have not faced medical crisis of such magnitude during the last century post the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918. As the world’s leading health infrastructure collapses, our socio-economic systems are crumbling down under the pressures of complete countrywide lockdown announced in almost all major economies around the globe. This unprecedented crisis situation calls for urgent introspection. It raises the imminent question on our so-called growth and development trends.

  • Survey of Temple Tanks As a Reference For

    International Journal of Science, Environment ISSN 2278-3687 (O) and Technology, Vol. 6, No 2, 2017, 1335 – 1342 2277-663X (P) SURVEY OF TEMPLE TANKS AS A REFERENCE FOR CONSERVATION OF TURTLE FAUNA IN KAMRUP (Rural and Metropolitan) DISTRICT Dipa Rani Devi1 and Maitrayee Mishra2 1Research Scholar, Singhania University, Rajasthan, 2MSc, Gauhati University E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Turtles have existed on earth since the rise of the dinosaurs. They evolved before mammals, birds, crocodiles, snakes and even lizards. Turtles represent one of the most threatened groups of vertebrates. Although turtles have had a successful existence over 200 million years in the history. In natural habitat the turtle population is declining due to over exploitation and habitat destruction (Rao,1986), other general reasons are illegal slaughtering for meat, egg perdition, water pollution and human disturbances (Gupta, 2000). The high price of turtle’s meat and egg also influence the collectors for easy earning. The steady decline of turtle population demands a lot of attention. Ancient Indians had recognized the animals’ right to co-exist with men and therefore they were loved, nurtured and even worshiped. In order to impress upon the commoners about their importance, the animals were given the status of gods and goddesses. They declared that almighty incarnates in different animal forms (Kamat, 1994). The turtle occupies an honoured place in many mythologies. According to Hindu mythology, the universe is supported by four elephants standing on a turtle’s back. All these superstitions gave good protection to the turtles. Although poaching is a problem, turtles have historically received community sanctioned religious protection in many temple tanks in India (Gupta, 2000).
