Majuli is the cultural capital and a hot tourist attraction. It has been prevalent since the 16th century. Majuli means ‘the land between two parallel rivers’ and is rightly termed so, as it lies at the intersection of Brahmaputra river and its branches. The Majuli festival is celebrated at the bank of River Luit which, by the way, is the biggest river island in the world. This festival commences on 21st November every year and lasts for the next 3 days.
