Jor Pukhuri Guwahati

Built centuries ago, Jorpukhuri is believed by many to be deserving of the status of being one of heritage sites of Assam. Jor Pukhuri or thw twin ponds were built by Swargadeo Siva Singha to fulfill the requirements of water of the Ugratara Temple. It is also additionally built to connect with the great Brahmaputra River via the Naojan Channel which is operable for the naval ships and boats used by Ahom royalties who visited the Ugratara Temple. Hence, Jorpukhuri has a lot of historical importance attached to it. But with the passage of time, British rulers built a road which separated the original waterbody and transformed it into two ponds. This incident made it earn its name, Jor Pukhuri which when literally translated stands for Twin Ponds. Jorpukhuri is an excellent nesting ground for several species like Cranes, Herons and Egrets, who build their nests in the nearby trees.
