Majuli - India's Disappearing Island

Majuli, located on the Brahmaputra River in Assam’s Jorhat district, was formed after a series of earthquakes (1661–1696) and a massive flood in 1750 altered the river’s course, creating an island between two parallel rivers. Its name, meaning “land in the middle of two parallel rivers,” reflects this origin. Renowned for its unique riverine ecosystem, Majuli is also the cultural heart of Assam, home to centuries-old Satras that preserve the region’s Vaishnavite traditions, arts, and spiritual heritage.
