Kamrup (কামৰূপ) is a district in western Assam, India, spanning areas on both sides of the Brahmaputra River. Its administrative headquarters is Amingaon. Distinct from neighbouring Kamrup Metropolitan district, which contains much of Guwahati, it is known for its riverine landscape, agricultural communities, silk weaving and historic pilgrimage centres.
Assamese is widely spoken, alongside languages used by the district’s diverse communities. Bihu celebrations, local festivals and weaving traditions shape cultural life. Farming, handloom production, trade and services support livelihoods. Sualkuchi is especially noted for Assam silk textiles, while Hajo is associated with Hindu, Muslim and Buddhist pilgrimage traditions. Hayagriva Madhava Temple and Poa Mecca are prominent landmarks.
Common civic concerns include seasonal flooding, riverbank erosion, drainage and reliable road connections. Residents also care about drinking water, healthcare, schools and employment opportunities. Supporting farmers and weavers, protecting wetlands and managing development near Guwahati are important local priorities.
