context_page_description: Tihu is a town and a town area committee established in 1951 in Nalbari district in the Indian state of Assam.
  The ancient name of Tihu was 'Dihu'. According to Kalaguru Bishnu Prasad Rabha, 'DI' means 'water' and 'HU' means 'flow'. 'Dihu' is actually a word of Bodo language. The ancient name of the town came from the name of the river 'Dihu', which flows through the heart of Tihu Town. According to Assamese scholar, Banikanta Kakati, the name of the river transformed to 'Tihu' as time passed by. So the name of the town too changed to 'Tihu'.
  The peopling and settlement in the area indicates replacement of early inhabited people in town and many parts of its adjacent areas to present scenery. At present, Tihu's revenue circle consists of 39 villages and an urban centre. Tihu town itself covers 132.0779 square kilometres.
  The Tihu River originates from a lake in Bhutan, the Singra River. The Tihu used to play a vital role of communication for trade and commerce in the area before connected by roads.
  A famous mill was located in Tihu which was known as 'Tihu Daga Rice Mill'. The mill was mainly used to extract rice from paddy and mustard oil from mustard seeds.
