The name ‘Aham’ or ‘Asom’ was probably given by the Ahoms who came to Assam in 1228 A.D. Kamdev eventually regained his original form here and from then onward the country came to be known as Kamarupa (Where Kama regained his Rupa or form). Kamdev succeeded in his mission, but Siva enraged at this result, burnt Kamdev to ashes. But Shiva’s penance did not stop, so the Gods sent Kamdev, the cupid to break his penance by making him fall in love. One such piece fell down on Nilachal hills near Gauhati and the place was henceforth held sacred as Kamakhya. In order to put a stop to this, Vishnu used his discus to cut the body into pieces, which then fell into different places. Overcame by grief, Shiva carried her dead body and wandered throughout the world. The mythology regarding the origin of the name Kamarupa tells us the story of Sati who died due to the discourtesy shown to her husband by her father Daksha. References of Kamarupa are found in literature as well as in many epigraphs. Pragjyotishpur may, therefore, be taken to mean the ‘City of Eastern Astrology’. Regarding the name ‘Prajyotisha’ or ‘Pragjyotishpura’, Gait (1992, reprint) writes that Prag means ‘former’ or ‘eastern’ and Jyotisha ‘a star’, astrology, shining. Its antiquity can be established from the fact that it has been mentioned in the two great epics- The Mahabharata and the Ramayana and also in the Puranas. In the ancient Sanskrit literature both the names ‘Pragjyotisha’ and ‘Kamrupa’ were used as designation for ancient Assam.

There are several opinions to the origin of the name “Assam”. The dynamics of synthesis and assimilation of the races make Assam glorified and rich. It has been the living place of various races, tribes and ethnic groups since time immemorial. The State is adorned with beautiful lush covers of greenery, a chain of hills and rivers mainly the Brahmaputra and the Barak. Assam is the eastern most sentinel of India endowed with enchanting and picturesque natural beauty.
