Sage Vasistha in Sandhyachal

Abstract

The writer throws light on the visit of Vedic sage Vasistha to Kamrupa. He extensively quotes scriptures to prove sage Vasistha’s presence at Sandhyachal, a place with hills and dales on the outskirt of the modern
city of Guwahati. Devout Hindus have been offering worship to Lord Shiva there and taking holy dip in the Vasistha Kund, a stony water hole which is said to have been created by Vasistha himself. The write-up is of special interest to those inquisitive about the history and sanctity of this sacred place of pligrimage.
