And here it was, in the mid of December winter, flowing steadily, calm and aloof, so unlike it’s ravenous monsoon avatar.
Towards dusk, a faint outline of the ‘Ferry from Majuli’ appeared on the Horizon, carrying passengers and numerous vehicles – cycles, motorbikes and cars. Sailing slowly towards Nimati Ghat, taking its own sweet time. It took about half an hour for the ferry to reach the destination. As my Dad walked outside the Ghat, he was greeted by bright smiles and tight hugs from family.

Bhramaputra tranquil and calm. Its beautiful
It is truly a mighty river. India is blessed to have so many great rivers – Ganges, Jamuna, Brahmaputra, Narmada, Krishna and Kaveri and the tributaries of the Indus. Rivers have so much soul.
