'''গুৱাহাটী''', ([[ইংৰাজী ভাষা|ইংৰাজী]]: গুৱাহাটী) বা পূৰ্বতে কোৱা "গৌহাটী" [[ভাৰত]]ৰ [[অসম]] ৰাজ্যৰ এখন মহানগৰ। ইয়াক প্ৰাচীন কালত "প্ৰাগজ্যোতিষপুৰ" নামেৰে জনা গৈছিল। ই [[উত্তৰ-পূব ভাৰত]]ৰ বৃহত্তম মেট্ৰ'প'লিটান এলেকা আৰু [[কলকাতা]], [[পাটনা]]ৰ পিছত পূব ভাৰতৰ তৃতীয় বৃহৎ নগৰ। ইয়াক উত্তৰ-পূব ভাৰতৰ 'প্ৰৱেশদ্বাৰ' বুলিও কোৱা হয়। ২০১১ চনৰ লোকপিয়ল অনুসৰি ইয়াৰ জনসংখ্যা ২,৫০৮,২০১ জন। যোৱা দশককেইটাত গুৱাহাটীৰ যথেষ্ট ভৌগোলিক আৰু জনসংখ্যাৰ পৰিৱৰ্তন হৈছে। প্ৰাচীন প্ৰাগজ্যোতিষপুৰ আছিল [[কামৰূপ ৰাজ্য]]ৰ ৰাজধানী। বৰ্তমানেও ইয়াত বহুতো পুৰণি মঠ-মন্দিৰ দেখিবলৈ পোৱা যায়। [[কামাখ্যা মন্দিৰ]], [[উমানন্দ মন্দিৰ]], [[নৱগ্ৰহ মন্দিৰ]], [[শুক্ৰেশ্বৰ মন্দিৰ]], [[বশিষ্ঠ মন্দিৰ]], [[দৌল গোবিন্দ মন্দিৰ]] আদি এইবোৰৰ ভিতৰত অন্যতম।

গুৱাহাটী মহানগৰৰ দক্ষিণে আছে [[ব্ৰহ্মপুত্ৰ নদী]], উত্তৰে ছিলঙৰ পাহাৰ, পূবত [[লোকপ্ৰিয় গোপীনাথ বৰদলৈ আন্তঃৰাষ্ট্ৰীয় বিমান বন্দৰ]] আৰু পশ্চিমে নাৰেঙ্গী অৱস্থিত। ব্ৰহ্মপুত্ৰৰ উত্তৰ পাৰেও [[উত্তৰ গুৱাহাটী]]ৰ ৰূপত ইয়াৰ লাহে লাহে পৰিবৰ্ধন হৈছে। [[গুৱাহাটী পৌৰ নিগম]]ৰ অধীনত থকা অঞ্চল হৈছে ২১৬ বৰ্গকি:মি: আৰু [[গুৱাহাটী মহানগৰ উন্নয়ন প্ৰাধিকৰণ]]ৰ অধীনত ৩৪০ বৰ্গকি:মি: এলেকা আছে।

গুৱাহাটী উত্তৰ পূব ভাৰতৰ এক প্ৰধান বাণিজ্যিক আৰু শৈক্ষিক কেন্দ্ৰ। ইয়াত [[ভাৰতীয় প্ৰযুক্তিবিদ্যা প্ৰতিষ্ঠান গুৱাহাটী]]ৰ দৰে বিশ্বস্তৰৰ শিক্ষানুষ্ঠানৰ লগতে [[গুৱাহাটী বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়]] আৰু [[কটন মহাবিদ্যালয়]]ৰ দৰে গুৰুত্বপূৰ্ণ শিক্ষানুষ্ঠান অৱস্থিত। গুৱাহাটী উত্তৰ পূব ভাৰতৰ সাংস্কৃতিক, ৰাজনৈতিক, প্ৰশাসনিক কাম-কাজৰো এক অন্যতম কেন্দ্ৰ। উত্তৰ পূব ভাৰতৰ অন্য স্থানসমূহলৈ যাবৰ বাবে গুৱাহাটী এক প্ৰধান বিকল্প।

গুৱাহাটী আৰু ইয়াৰ চৌপাশৰ অঞ্চলসমূহত যথেষ্ট সংখ্যক হাতী, বাঘ, বান্দৰ আদি জীৱ-জন্তু আছে।<ref>Choudhury, A.U. (2002). Big cats, elephant, rhino and gaur in Guwahati. ''The Rhino Found.

==নামৰ উৎপত্তি==

গুৱাহাটী নামটো [[অসমীয়া ভাষা]]ৰ দুটা শব্দ 'গুৱা' (অৰ্থ- [[তামোল]]) আৰু 'হাট' (অৰ্থ- বজাৰ)ৰ পৰা উদ্ভৱ হৈছে। ব্ৰিটিছ উপনিবেশৰ কালত এই নামটো "গৌহাটী" বুলি কোৱা হৈছিল আৰু ১৯৮০ৰ দশকৰ শেষৰফালে ই বৰ্তমানৰ ৰূপ পায়।

== ইতিহাস ==

গুৱাহাতীৰ কিংবদন্তী আৰু ইতিহাস কেইবাহাজাৰ বছৰৰ পুৰণি। নগৰখনৰ উৎপত্তিৰ কথা জনা নাযায় যদিও মহাকাব্য, পুৰাণ আৰু আন পৰম্পৰাগত ইতিহাসত উল্লেখ কৰা কাহিনীসমূহৰ পৰা ইয়াক [[এছিয়া]]ৰ এখন অন্যতম পুৰণি নগৰ বুলি অনুমান কৰিব পাৰি।

ইতিহাসৰ মতে গুৱাহাটী কেইবাখনো প্ৰাচীন ৰাজ্যৰ ৰাজধানী আছিল। [[মহাভাৰত]]ৰ মতে ই [[নৰকাসুৰ]] আৰু [[ভগদত্ত]]ৰ ৰাজ্যৰ ৰাজধানী আছিল। নীলাচল পাহাৰত অৱস্থিত শক্তিপীঠ [[কামাখ্যা মন্দিৰ]], চিত্ৰাচল পাহাৰত অৱস্থিত প্ৰাচীন জ্যোতিষচৰ্চাৰ মন্দিৰ [[নৱগ্ৰহ মন্দিৰ|নৱগ্ৰহ]], বশিষ্ঠৰ পুৰাতাত্বিক সম্পদ আৰু আন আন ঠায়ে নগৰখনৰ কিংবদন্তীমূলক ইতিহাসৰ কথাকে সমৰ্থন কৰিছে।

[[File:Kamakhya Temple.jpg|left|upright|thumb|<center>[[কামাখ্যা মন্দিৰ]]ৰ দৃশ্য।<center>]]

আমবাৰীৰ খননকাৰ্যত ষষ্ঠ খ্ৰীষ্টাব্দত নগৰখনৰ অৱস্থিতিৰ কথা জানিব পৰা গৈছে। বেলেগ বেলেগ সময়ত নগৰখনক 'প্ৰাগজ্যোতিষপুৰ' (পূবৰ পোহৰ) আৰু দুৰ্জয় বুলি জনা গৈছিল আৰু ই [[কামৰূপ ৰাজ্য]]ৰ [[বৰ্মণ ৰাজবংশ|বৰ্মণ]] আৰু [[পাল ৰাজবংশ]]ৰ ৰাজধানী আছিল। [[হিউৱেন চাঙ]]ৰ লিখনিৰ পৰা জানিব পৰা যায় যে বৰ্মন বংশৰ শ্ৰেষ্ঠ ৰজা ভাস্কৰবৰ্মণৰ (৭ম খ্ৰীষ্টাব্দ) ৰাজত্বকালত নগৰখনৰ বিস্তৃতি আছিল ১৯ কি:মি:, লগতে সম্ভৱতঃ ই ৰজাৰ ৩০,০০০ যুঁজাৰু নাওসমৃদ্ধ জলবাহিনীৰ প্ৰধান ঘাটি আছিল। পাল বংশৰ শাসনকালত ই ১০ম-১১শ শতিকালৈকে অসমৰ ৰাজধানী আছিল। আমবাৰীৰ খননকাৰ্য তথা [[কটন মহাবিদ্যালয়]]ৰ প্ৰেক্ষাগৃহ সাজোতে কৰা খননত উদ্ধাৰ হোৱা ইটাৰ দেৱাল আৰু ঘৰবোৰৰ পৰা ইয়াক ৯ম-১১শ শতিকা সময়ছোৱাৰ এখন অৰ্থনৈতিকভাৱে গুৰুত্বপূৰ্ণ বৃহত্‍ নগৰ বুলি অনুমান কৰিব পাৰি।
[[File:River Brahmaputra.jpg|thumb|300px|গুৱাহাটীৰ খাৰঘূলিৰ ওচৰৰ ব্ৰহ্মপুত্ৰ]]
১২শ-১৫শ শতিকাৰ মাজত মধ্যযুগৰ সময়ছোৱাত [[কমতা ৰাজ্য]]ৰ পতনৰ পিছত নগৰখনে পূৰ্বৰ গৰিমা হেৰুৱায় আৰু প্ৰধানতঃ পশ্চিমৰ [[কোচ হাজো]] আৰু পূবৰ [[আহোম ৰাজ্য]]ৰ কূটনৈতিক থলী হৈ পৰে। [[মোগল]]ৰ হাতত কোচ ৰাজ্যৰ পশ্চিমভাগ ([[কোচ বিহাৰ]])ৰ পতন হোৱাৰ পিছত পূবৰ ভাগটো (কোচ হাজো) আহোমৰ অধীন হৈ পৰে। আহোম আৰু মোগলৰ মাজৰ সীমা কৰতোৱা নদী (এতিয়াৰ উত্তৰ বঙ্গত) বা মানস নদী নিৰ্ধাৰণ হ'লেও গুৱাহাটী এক গুৰুত্বপূৰ্ণ ঘাটি হৈ থাকিল।

[[File:Digholy Pukhury Guwahati.PNG|thumb|250px|<center>দীঘলী পুখুৰী<center>]]

নগৰখন [[আহোম ৰাজবংশ|আহোম]] ৰজাই পাতি দিয়া নামনি অসমৰ সেনা প্ৰধান [[বৰফুকন]]ৰ ঘাটি আছিল। বৰ্তমানৰ ফাঁচী বজাৰৰ ঠাইত বৰফুকনত বাসগৃহ আছিল আৰু তেওঁৰ পাৰিষদ-গৃহ আছিল (দোপদাৰ) বৰ্তমান ভৰলুৰ ২৭৪ মিটাৰ পশ্চিমে। বৰফুকনৰ ব্যক্তিগত সচিব মজিন্দাৰ বৰুৱাৰ বাসগৃহ আছিল বৰ্তমানৰ উপায়ুক্তৰ বাসভৱনৰ ঠাইত। {{Harvcol|Baruah|1992|pp=200–201}}

মোগলে অসম জয় কৰিবলৈ ১৭বাৰ প্ৰচেষ্টা চলাইছিল যদিও প্ৰতিবাৰেই পৰাজিত হৈছিল। গুৱাহাটীৰ ওচৰৰ [[শৰাইঘাটৰ যুদ্ধ|শৰাইঘাট]]ত হোৱা ১৬৭১ চনৰ যুদ্ধত [[লাচিত বৰফুকন]]ৰ নেতৃত্বত আহোম সেনাই মোগলক পৰাস্ত কৰিছিল। গুৱাহাটীৰ সমীপৱৰ্তী অঞ্চলত থকা "মোমাই-কটা গড়" (লাচিতে কামত গাফিলতি কৰা বাবে মোমায়েকৰ শিৰচ্ছেদ কৰা কাহিনীৰ পৰা হোৱা নাম) আহোমসকলৰ কঠোৰ শ্ৰম আৰু যুঁজাৰু মনোভাৱৰ পৰিচায়ক।

গুৱাহাটীত বহুতো বুৰঞ্জীমূলক স্থান আছে। চাৰিচুকীয়া দীঘলী পুখুৰীৰ [[ব্ৰহ্মপুত্ৰ]]ৰ লগত সংযোগ আছিল আৰু সম্ভৱতঃ ইয়াক মধ্যযুগত আহোমৰ দ্বাৰা নাৱৰ বন্দৰ হিচাপে ব্যৱহাৰ কৰা হৈছিল। তাৰোপৰি বহুতো পুখুৰী, মন্দিৰ, গড় আদি দেখিবলৈ পোৱা যায়। সকলোতকৈ গুৰুত্বপূৰ্ণ পুৰাতাত্বিক স্থান হৈছে দীঘলী পুখুৰীৰ ওচৰৰ আমবাৰী।

==নগৰৰ ৰূপ==

[[File:Guwahati Urban Morphology.png|thumb|<center>গুৱাহাটী নগৰৰ বিস্তৃতি<center>]]

গুৱাহাটীৰ বৰ্তমানৰ ৰূপ এটা ষ্টাৰফিছৰ দৰে। কেন্দ্ৰৰ পৰা দক্ষিণ, পূব আৰু পশ্চিম দিশলৈ নগৰখনৰ বিস্তৃতি ঘটিছে। যোৱা কেইদশকমানত দক্ষিণ গুৱাহাটীৰ [[গণেশগুৰি]], [[বেলটলা]], পাঞ্জাবাৰী, জাটীয়া, কাহিলীপাৰা আদি ঠায়ে ৰাজধানী দিছপুৰক আৱৰি এটা উপ-কেন্দ্ৰ গঢ়ি তুলিছে।

মুখ্য অঞ্চল পুৰণি নগৰখনৰ লগতে [[পান বজাৰ, গুৱাহাটী|পান বজাৰ]], [[পল্টন বজাৰ, গুৱাহাটী|পল্টন বজাৰ]], ফাঁচী বজাৰ আৰু উজান বজাৰেৰে গঠিত। পল্টন বজাৰ যাতায়ত আৰু হোটেলৰ কেন্দ্ৰ, পান বজাৰত বিভিন্ন শৈক্ষিক আৰু প্ৰশাসনিক ভৱন আছে, ফাঁচী বজাৰ হৈছে পাইকাৰী আৰু খুচুৰা বস্তু বিক্ৰীৰ কেন্দ্ৰ আৰু উজান বজাৰ হৈছে মূলতঃ আবাসিক আৰু প্ৰশাসনিক অঞ্চল। এইবোৰৰ লগতে পিছলৈ লাচিত নগৰ, চান্দমাৰী, উলুবাৰী, জু ৰ'ড আদি অঞ্চল সংযোজিত হয়।

নগৰ সংযোগী পথসমূহৰ ভিতৰত সকলোতকৈ গুৰুত্বপূৰ্ণ হৈছে দক্ষিণৰফালে জি.এছ. ৰ'ড (নগৰৰ কেন্দ্ৰৰ পৰা প্ৰায় ১৫ কি:মি:)। অৰ্থনৈতিক দিশৰপৰা গুৰুত্বৰ উপৰিও ইয়াৰ আশে-পাশে বহুতো কাৰ্যালয়, শিক্ষানুষ্ঠান আৰু আৰু বসতিস্থল আছে। অসমৰ ৰাজধানী দিছপুৰো ইয়াতে অৱস্থিত। নগৰখনৰ দক্ষিণ অংশত ইয়াৰ ওচৰতে গণেশগুৰিৰ ৰূপত যোৱা কেইদশকমান ধৰি এটা উপ-কেন্দ্ৰ গঢ়ি উঠিছে। 

পশ্চিম অংশত অৱস্থিত ক'ৰিডৰত (নগৰৰ কেন্দ্ৰৰ পৰা প্ৰায় ৩০ কি:মি:) গুৱাহাটীৰ পৰা দেশৰ আন আন অঞ্চল সংযোগী ৰেলপথসমূহ অৱস্থিত। এই ক'ৰিড'ৰে ঐতিহাসিক আৰু আবাসিক দিশৰপৰা গুৰুত্বপূৰ্ণ অঞ্চল যেনে নীলাচল পাহাৰ, পাণ্ডু, [[মালিগাঁও]] (উত্তৰ-পূব সীমান্ত ৰে'লৱেৰ মুখ্য কাৰ্যালয়)ক সংযোগ কৰি দুটা ভাগ হৈছে। এটা পথ [[উত্তৰ গুৱাহাটী]]ক আৰু আনটোৱে [[গুৱাহাটী বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়]] (জালুকবাৰী) হৈ [[লোকপ্ৰিয় গোপীনাথ বৰদলৈ আন্তঃৰাষ্ট্ৰীয় বিমান বন্দৰ]]ক সংযোগ কৰিছে। 

পূবফালে থকা তৃতীয়টো প্ৰধান ক'ৰিড'ৰে (নগৰ কেন্দ্ৰৰ পৰা প্ৰায় ১৫ কি:মি:) নুনমাটি আৰু নাৰেঙ্গিক সংযোগ কৰিছে।

৩৭ নং ৰাষ্ট্ৰীয় ঘাইপথে নগৰখনৰ দক্ষিণ অংশক আৱৰি ইয়াক পশ্চিম অংশৰ লগত সংযোগ কৰিছে।

<!--  
But the city is having notable changes in its morphology with rapid expansion. The Khanapara road is being converted into 4 lanes and it will be extended up to a place called Changsari in near future. Various projects are undertaken on the outskirts like the water park in Rani, which has brought those far flung areas under city reach by continuous visit by tourists. Also, two five star hotels are on the verge of being set up, arising hopes that by a decade or so, the city will be twice its size now.

There is a fair amount of ethnic and religious diversity in Guwahati, but the city has been plagued by [[terrorism]] and [[insurgency]] in recent years. Several bombings were carried out in 2008 and 2009, claiming a total of at least 96 lives and wounding around 600 others.<ref>[http://news.outlookindia.com/item.aspx?627571 Assam blast toll rises to 81]</ref><ref>[http://sify.com/news/death-toll-in-guwahati-serial-bombings-rises-to-six-news-national-jegu6Fjfadg.html Death toll in Guwahati serial bombings rises to six]</ref><ref>[http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Twin-blasts-in-Assam-7-killed-61-wounded/articleshow/4365349.cms Terror blasts ahead of PM's visit rock Assam, kill 9]</ref>

Although being a medium sized city, ranking around 50th (in terms of population) in India, the city's quality of life is comparatively higher. A recent survey (2006) by a popular Indian magazine - [[Outlook (magazine)|Outlook]] (Money) ranked Guwahati 16th among all the major and medium sized Indian cities.

The city provides competitive residential and working environments with beautiful landscapes, pleasant climate, modern shopping areas, modern apartments and bungalows, and considerably good social infrastructure.
Yet infrastructure in the city still requires extensive attention, which can increase and revolutionize the city's reputation, investment environment, and overall growth pattern. Major investments in infrastructure are being planned in the city, covering many aspects of the utilities and transportation infrastructures, with financial assistance from the [[Asian Development Bank]] (ADB). Guwahati is to also receive substantial city development funds from [[JNNURM]] (Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission) - the Government of India's recently conceived commission for urban development, and a development plan for the city has been recently finalized.

The city suffers from the lack of sufficient utilities for the development of infrastructure. The existing water supply system is inadequate, depending largely on ground water resources (higher water level). It also lacks a comprehensive underground sewage system. Septic tanks at individual houses are popular. The storm drainage system is comparatively good, although many areas experience water logging due to heavy rainfall in the monsoon season. Extensive soil erosion from the hills and clogging of the drainage system is frequent and expensive for the city. Solid waste is being managed by the local authority with private partners. It lacks modern equipment, methods and practices.

Guwahati is serviced by the [[Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport|Lokopriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport]] at Borjhar, about 20&nbsp;km west of the city center. Air connections have improved considerably in the last couple of years and all major domestic airlines fly into Guwahati. Helicopter services are operated from Guwahati to [[Shillong]] (30 min), [[Tura, India|Tura]] (50 min), [[Naharlagun]] ([[Itanagar]]), Tawang (75 min) by [[Pawan Hans]], a [[helicopter]] service. Guwahati airport averages about 95-100 arrivals and departures a day. Guwahati is serviced with direct flights to Delhi, Jaipur, Mumbai, Kolkata, Bangalore,Chennai, Ahmedabad and other major cities in India by different airlines. [[Druk Air]] connects Guwahati internationally to [[Bangkok]] and [[Paro, Bhutan|Paro]] twice a week. A modernization plan is underway at Guwahati airport right now and once it is completed, the [[Airports Authority of India|AAI]] plans to make Guwahati a hub of air connectivity.

[[image:Guwahati Railway Station at Night.jpg|250px|thumb|Guwahati Railway Station at Night]]
Guwahati falls under the [[Northeast Frontier Railway]] zone of the [[Indian Railways]]. [[Guwahati Junction Railway Station|Guwahati Junction]] which is the major station of Guwahati is the headquarters of the zone. Two minor stations are Kamakhya and New Guwahati (for freight services) located towards west and east from Guwahati respectively. Major trains serving Guwahati are [[Guwahati Rajdhani Express]], [[Poorvottar Sampark Kranti Express]], [[Saraighat Express]], [[North East Express|North-East Express]], [[Guwahati Bangalore Express]], Guwahati Ernakulam Express, [[Kamrup Express]], Guwahati-[[Jorhat]]  [[Jan Shatabdi Express]].

But the city still lacks direct connectivity through railway to [[Bhopal Junction]], [[Indore Junction BG]], [[Gwalior]], [[Pune]] and many central as well as western cities of India.

===পথ===
[[National Highway 31 (India)|National Highway 31]] connects Guwahati with the states [[Bihar]], [[Jharkhand]] and [[West Bengal]]. [[National Highway 37 (India)|National Highway 37]] from [[Goalpara]] in Assam to [[Dimapur]] in [[Nagaland]] traverses the entire length of Assam and connects Guwahati with almost all the major cities of Assam including the cities of [[Jorhat]] and [[Dibrugarh]].

Guwahati is very well connected with adjoining regions via bus services. Two nodal points, Adabari and Paltan Bazaar, provide bus services to towns and cities in Assam and adjoining states. Some of these services are run by the government agency ASTC, whereas a vast majority of them are run by private companies. "Night supers", or buses that run overnight, and luxury coaches, are very popular.

The Inter State Bus Terminus (ISBT) located at the outskirts, provides connectivity with other regions of the Northeast with regular buses for major cities and tourist destinations of the neighbouring states.

===জল পৰিবহণ===
[[File:Saraighat Bridge, Guwahati, Assam, India .jpg|thumb|National Waterway No2 & Saraighat Bridge]]
Guwahati, being on the bank of [[Brahmaputra River]], is connected to [[National Waterway 2 (India)|National Waterways No 2]], with a terminal at Pandu. It is used for movement of bulk & general cargo, passenger vessels and tourist vessels.

===স্থানীয় পৰিবহণ===

Lack of sufficient road space is also a major problem. The length of surfaced road within the city is presently at 218&nbsp;km (ARSAC). The major corridor roads suffer from insufficient right of way, illegal construction methods, and improper planning and design. The roads in the residential neighborhoods are extremely narrow (lack of proper regulations) causing problems related to both traffic and infrastructure installations. Cul-de-sacs are neither planned nor designed properly.

Guwahati has a good public transit system. A government agency - [[Assam State Transport Corporation]] (ASTC) and many private operators provide a considerably good city-bus system. It requires further modernization and integration with city planning and management initiatives. Guwahati is the first city in the North-east where low floored buses were introduced.

Apart from City Buses, tracker services, which are soft top multi utility vehicles with a sitting capacity of 10-12, also provide public transport facilities along major roads in the city. They are popular among people for fast travel in the city, although these vehicles are usually overloaded with passengers and tend to drive very fast causing frequent accidents.

Three-wheeler [[Auto rikshaw]]s are available throughout the city on metered fare basis.{{Fact|date=September 2011}} There is no organised Taxi service in Guwahati for intra-city travel, although cars are available on rental basis from numerous travel agencies operating in the city.

As of now, there is no Mass Rapid Transit System in Guwahati, although the authorities are planning for the same in future.

====ৰ'পৱে====
A [[Aerial tramway|ropeway]] is being constructed connecting Guwahati city with North-Guwahati over [[Brahmaputra River]]. Its purpose is local travel as well as tourism.
