Dhuburi, the headquarters of the Dhuburi district, is the western most town of the State. Interwoven with legends and history, this peninsular landmass continued to be an outpost and a river-post for the travellers from east and west who from time immemorial plied along the all-weather navigable Brahmaputra.
Dhuburi exists where the Brahmaputra takes its southward elbow turn, to enter Bangladesh. It has a rare scenic beauty. It is associated with the Beula-Lakhinder episode, a legend found associated with several other places of Assam

Of late, the old Gurdwara has been replaced by a magnificent one, which can be seen from several kilometers away all around.
PanchpeerDargah: The Panchpeer Dargah is a shrine built over the mortal remains of five Mohammedan Saints who visited Assam in the 17th century AD. Though a Muslim Dargah, it is equally venerated by Hindus and Muslims.
