Mallitte in the 1860s. Guwahati, once known as Pragjyotishpura (the Eastern
City of Light), is capital of the state of Assam and is at the centre of the
most important tea growing area of India. The town is situated on the edge of
the Shillong Plateau at the point where it reaches the River Brahmaputra and is
the gateway to the whole north eastern part of India.
