Sri Surya Pahar in Assam | Chandubi Lake, Nishngram, Kasumari and Rangsapara

Sri Surya Pahar or Surjo Pahar, as it's called in Assamese, is one of the truly hidden gems of the state. Located in the Goalpara district, it's believed that there are 99,999 shiva lingas here - just one less than Varanasi and so was also known as Second Kashi back in the days. In today's video, we'll visit Sri Surya Pahar, but also explore Chandubi Lake, visit the cleanest village in Assam - Rangaspara and explore Nishangram.

[@samjuktasinha5219]

My father has dedicated his life in Sri Suryapahar, Goalpara. He was Superintending Archaeologist and he has tirelessly worked for Archaeological Survey of India at Sri Suryapahar. He wrote articles about this place and did lots of excavations there. He is famous as Sinha Sir in Suryapahar. Suryapahar resides in my father’s heart and will always ❤ Thanks for showing the place. It reminded me of those beautiful moments which my father has spent there.

[@SiddharthaJoshiFilms]

Wow! I wish I had met your father when I visited - there would be so much to learn from him!

[@samjuktasinha5219]

The North-eastern India is just mesmerizing, i feel sometimes that kashmir is bit overhyped😬. One must visit this part of the country and thn make a comparison. Atulya Assam, Astonising Arunachal, Magnificient Manipur, Majestic Mizoram, Mesmerising Meghalaya, Tejaswi Tripura, Natural beautiful Nagaland, Incredible North-East India.

[@ganeshterangwrongchaicho3089]

time code 4:35 this liquor is actually very strong, perhaps they have given you the lighter one so that you dont feel any uncomfortable. It is crystal clear but you can replace this liquor with the fuel petrol. Liquor of the first 30 min after the process can be considered the strongest one and as per my knowledge 1/10th of the total quantity is the strongest and must add water, but it becomes lighter and lighter at the end where you can make it neat and zzz. My mother used to prepare this liquor at home. Heartfelt thank you for visiting and exploring Assam in such a beautiful way, may god bless you with good health.
