Dhuburi,
the headquarters of the Dhuburi district, is the western most town of the
State. Interwoven with legends and history, this peninsular landmass
continued to be an outpost and a river-post for the travellers from east
and west who from time immemorial plied along the all-weather navigable
Brahmaputra.
Dhuburi exists where the Brahmaputra
takes its southward elbow turn, to enter Bangladesh. It has a rare scenic
beauty. It is associated with the Beula-Lakhinder episode, a legend found
associated with several other places of Assam.
The Gurdwara
Dhuburi also associated with the 10th Sikh Guru Teg Bahadur Singh, who
with his regiment, accompanied the Mughal General Ram Singh in his
invasion of Assam in AD 1669 and established the first Gurdwara of this
region at the highest spot of this town. Of late, the old Gurdwara has
been replaced by a magnificent one which can be seen from several
kilometers away all around.
Panchpeer Dargah
The Panchpeer Dargah is a shrine built over the mortal remains of five
Mohammedan Saints who visited Assam in the 17th century AD. Though a
Muslim Dargah, it is equally venerated by Hindus and Muslims.
Panbari: 18-km
