Tezpur- the city of Eternal Romance. It is one of the most beautiful and picturesque town of Assam. Situated on the North bank of river Brahmaputra, Tezpur is endowed with magnificent scenic beauty and outstanding archaeological ruins, surrounded by the flourishing green hills of Arunachal Pradesh.
Known as the 'City of Eternal Love', Tezpur was the site of a love story that caused one of the most legendary celestial battles. The legend speaks of Banasura, a mighty Asura King who ruled the Kingdom of Sonitpur (present-day Tezpur). Believed to have been born with a thousand arms, he was an ardent devotee of Shiva.
It reminds of the romantic legend of Usha and Anirudha. The legend revolves around Banasura, the great Asura king of ancient Tezpur, his beautiful daughter Usha and her friend Chitralekha. The princess saw a handsome prince in her dreams and fell in love with him.
