Tezpur the cultural capital of Assam is also one of the most beautiful towns of Assam.With mighty river Brahmaputra on its northern side and surrounded by ever green tea gardens.Tezpur is also famous for its mythological tales.
It is also the administrative headquarters of the Sonitpur district of Assam.
The name Tezpur is derived from the Sanskrit words 'Teza' (meaning blood) and 'Pura' (meaning town or city). Legend has it that a battle between Krishna and Lord Shiva fought for the rescue of Aniruddha (who was the grandson of Lord Krishna, according to legend ) there was so much bloodshed that the whole place was stained in red. This led to the name of the place becoming Tezpur.
