The Bridge That Connected Generations: 63 Years of Saraighat

They say photographs capture a moment, but this image captures the literal transformation of Assam. On June 7, 1963, the Saraighat Bridge was opened to the public, becoming the very first bridge to span the mighty Brahmaputra River. Looking back at this engineering marvel 63 years later, it’s not just steel and concrete we see—it’s the lifeline that brought the Northeast closer to the rest of India. A true icon of Guwahati's skyline.
