Guwahati is the commercial capital of the NorthEastern State of Assam. Known as Pragjyotishpur (the city of the Eastern light) once upon a time, Guwahati is also the biggest city of Assam. The name is derived from two Assamese words, "Guwa," meaning areca nut and "Haat," meaning market.

The city spreads across from the LGB International Airport in the West to Narengi in the East for about 45km and from the Southern Bank of the Brahmaputra river to the foothills of the Shillong plateau for about 15km. The political capital of the state, Dispur, is housed in Guwahati. Being the gateway to the seven other NorthEastern states, better known as the seven sisters, Guwahati is an important tourist base point, besides being an attraction in its own right.

A trip to Guwahati would be incomplete without a visit to the Kamakhya temple, the Bhubaneshwari temple, the Shiva temple, the Navagraha temple, the Vashishtha Ashram, and the Guwahati Zoo.
