Akashiganga




Akashiganga is a picnic spot 50 km south-east of Nagaon, in Nagaon District of Assam. This place is close to Dabaka. It lies on the Dabaka-Dimapur road. The place got its name from a nearby waterfall. Akashiganga also finds mention as a 'pithasthan' (a holy place associated with Shakti cult) in the Kalika Puran. Pilgrims take a holy dip in the nearby water pool formed by the Akashiganga waterfall. The site also offers a view of the Brahmaputra River from a distance.
