Cultural Heritage Of Assam – Sualkuchi Boat Race

Sualkuchi is a small town of Assam which is known for its rich cultural heritage. Known as the “Manchester of Assam”, the town celebrates several festivals throughout the year, most of them with religious connotations. Out of all the festivals celebrated in Sualkuchi, the most exciting of the lot is the boat race event.

Historical evidence has suggested that boat races were a common feature during the reign of Rudra Singh and several other rulers. However, it was in 1965 that the old tradition of boat races was revived in Assam. The town takes on an electric atmosphere during the event, with crowds cheering their favorite team.
