In a bid to promote riverine tourism, an initiative of the Government of India is set to connect seven revered temples in Guwahati through an innovative waterway circuit.
The transformative project will link the historic temples of Kamakhya, Pandunath, Ashwaklanta, Doul Govinda, Umananda, Chakreshwar, and Auniati Satra, providing an immersive experience for pilgrims and tourists alike.
This groundbreaking initiative is made possible through a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to be signed on May 19, 2023.
Under the ambitious Sagarmala Programme, the 'Riverine-based Tourism Circuit' project is set to transform the region's tourism landscape.
With an estimated initial cost of Rs. 40-45 crores, the project will receive joint contributions of 55% from SDCL and IWAI, with the remaining funds provided by ATDC.
SDCL and IWAI will jointly contribute 55% of the project cost while the remaining will be provided by ATDC. DIWT has consented to provide the usage of Ghats near the temples free of cost for the project.
