Brahmaputra River Heritage Centre

The Brahmaputra River Heritage Centre is a cultural museum housed in the restored 19th-century Old Deputy Commissioner Bungalow on Barphukan's Hill at Panbazar in Guwahati, Assam, overlooking the Brahmaputra River. Inaugurated in 2021, it showcases the river's history, ecology, culture and heritage through artefacts, photographs and exhibits. The colonial-era bungalow and its riverfront location make it notable for heritage architecture and panoramic river views.

Visitors can explore a restored colonial bungalow converted into galleries displaying artefacts, photographs, maps, and models related to the Brahmaputra River's history, ecology, and riverine culture. The centre is set on a hilltop with landscaped grounds and offers panoramic views of the Brahmaputra River and Guwahati cityscape. Areas include indoor exhibition halls, outdoor viewing decks, and interpretive displays about river transport, communities and heritage.

Housed in the Old Deputy Commissioner Bungalow, a British colonial-era heritage building constructed in the 19th century on Barphukan's Hill overlooking the Brahmaputra River. It served as the residence of the Deputy Commissioner of Kamrup district during colonial administration. The building was restored and converted into the Brahmaputra River Heritage Centre and inaugurated in 2021 to preserve and showcase the heritage of the Brahmaputra River.

Dedicated to the Brahmaputra River, which is central to the life, culture and economy of Assam. The centre presents riverine traditions, indigenous communities, traditional boats and river transport, ecology, and artistic expressions, reflecting the deep cultural connection between the people of Assam and the river.
