 The
Brahmaputra, as the river is known in Assam, has its origin in
Tibet. It flows through the breadths of Assam and joins the Bay
of Bengal through Bangladesh. The true source of the Brahmaputra lies in the ranges of the Chemayungdung mountains,
some sixty miles south east of mount Kailash, being India’s
most sacred mountain, revered as the home of Lord Shiva, one
of the three main Gods of the Hindus. The Brahmaputra or Lohit
(Red River) is known as Tamchok or Horse River in Western
Tibet, the Tsangpo in central and eastern Tibet, the Siang in
Arunachal Pradesh, the Jamuna, the Padma and finally the
Meghna during its course in Bangladesh. In total the
Brahmaputra covers some 1800 miles from its origin till the
end.
The
Brahmaputra is considered as tears in the monsoons as it
creates havoc. At the same time it brings in prosperity to the
land. It was this Brahmaputra that decided the fate of Assam
with the great battle of Saraighat being fought on this river
at Guwahati in the seventeenth century between the invading
Mughal forces of Emperor Aurangzeb from Delhi under the
command of Rajput King Of Amber Raja Ram Singh and the defending Ahom forces, under Ahom commander Lachit Barphukan. The defeat
of the Mughal forces permanently sealed any major expedition
and thus Assam survived from coming under the Mughal rule.
