Rowta

Rowta lies in the northern Brahmaputra plain near the foothill routes known as duars. Rivers descending from the hills cut through this country before reaching the valley below. A local account records the Rowta as the eastern boundary of a territory granted to the Chutia prince Sadhaka by the Ahom king Suhungmung in the sixteenth century. Passes along rivers such as the Rowta connected hill communities with the plains.
