Here are some glimpses of the ongoing Brahmaputra Carnival ( an initiative of Assam Tourism ) held annualy at Lachit Ghat of river Brahmaputra, in Guwahati, Assam. Its a grand spectacle and joyous event with lots of activities for one and all, set in the pleasant and cool winter months from mid-dec to mid-mar. I was there couple of days ago and loved spending my time walking on the sandy river beach trying out various fun stuff under the wintry skies. Enjoy the visuals :-)
