The primary tribe inhabiting Majuli is the Mishing, comprising about 47% of the island’s population. The term “Mishing” is derived from two words: ‘Mi’ meaning ‘People’ and ‘Yassing’ meaning ‘Fine’.

En Route Visit:

Dhekiakhowa Bornamghar: One of the most revered religious sites in Jorhat, established by the saint-reformer Madhavdeva, a disciple of Srimanta Shankardeva. Its origin is associated with a humble meal of rice and Dhekia Saak (a local leafy vegetable) offered by a poor, elderly woman, which impressed Madhavdeva so much that he decided to set up a Namghar (Prayer House) at the site.

Arrive at Sivasagar and check in at the hotel.

Sivasagar:
Located 369 km east of Guwahati, Sivasagar (formerly Rangpur) is rich in historical relics, bearing testimony to the 600 years of Ahom rule.

Places to Visit:

Rang Ghar: A two-storeyed structure built by the 34th Ahom king, Pramatta Singha in 1746, which served as the royal sports pavilion for various entertainments like wrestling, bird fighting, and buffalo fighting.
Tolatol Ghar: Originally constructed by King Rudra Singha in 1699 and later rebuilt by King Rajeswar Singha (1751–1769), this seven-storey palace (four above ground, three underground) served as the military station and capital of the Ahom kings.
Shiva Dole: Built by Queen Ambika, the second queen of Shiva Singha, in 1734. It is reputed to be the tallest Shiva Temple in Northeast India, with a height of 180 feet and a diameter of 195 feet, capped by a seven-foot-high golden dome.
