Dhubri District, which constitutes the western part of the Brahmaputra Valley, had a glorious past as it was an important administrative centre under British rule. It was also a place where different ethnic groups mingled, giving it a unique cultural heritage and historical background. Language, art and religion flourished in the area because of the processes of migration and assimilation of various races, castes, and creeds. The magnificent British bungalows, imposing relics and religious sites not only speak volumes about art, architecture and culture in the past but also give a historical account of social and political developments in the town.
