Assam is situated south of the eastern Himalayas along the Brahmaputra and Barak River valleys. The name Assam is derived from the word asama, meaning “peerless” in the now extinct Ahom language. The neighbouring states of Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Mizoram, and Meghalaya were once part of Assam. Assam is home to the world’s biggest river island Majuli, as well as world’s smallest river island Umananda. Assam is famous for its silks that are manufactured using worms that can survive only in Assam’s climate.
