Which when translated means “there is a Devi in every home in the realm of Kamarupa.” And it is this wonderful concept that gives their magnificient lands a universal outlook. It is a real conglomeration of different cultures and it is the role of women as an economic partner in all endeavours of man that keeps her on light pedestal. No false values of Life anywhere, and the feudal concept of landlordism or preservation of wealth is just not there. They work, earn and live peacefully and in simple dignity. Nobody is either poor or rich economically, but rich in thought and grand in glory.

It is a beautiful land where nature presents itself in it’s pristine glory. This book will be of special appeal to tourists and first time visitors to the region, written as it is by one, who was herself smitten by the charm of the “seven sister” on her very first visit.
