context_page_description: Lower Assam is a region situated in Western Brahmaputra Valley encompassing undivided Kamrup and Goalpara regions.
  The term "Lower Assam" is often a misnomer in spite of popular usage to refer the region. In scholary circles Western Assam was more frequently used to accurately define the region and differentiate it from Lower Assam Division.
  Soon after the formal creation of the British districts in 1833, Lower Assam denoted one of the five initial districts that were created west of the Dhansiri river, which, along with the six paraganas, became a single district of Kamrup in 1836.
  It was home to the kingdom of Kamarupa, ruled by Varman's and Pala's from their capital's Pragjyotishpura and Durjaya. Today Guwahati is the largest city of North-East India while Dispur, the capital of Assam, is within the town.
