Agnigarh Hill

Agnigarh Hill

Mythological hilltop fort linked to the legend of Usha and Aniruddha, with panoramic Brahmaputra views.

Agnigarh Hill rises above the Brahmaputra and carries the legend of Usha, daughter of King Bana, who was kept here behind a ring of fire to keep her away from Aniruddha. Sculpted panels and a small park now cover the slope, recreating scenes from the story. Paved paths wind up to a viewing point that looks out over the river and the city below. Evenings bring the best light, and the hill stays a popular stop for both history and the view itself.
