ABOUT TEZU
The ancient inhabitant of this land of valley and rivers are the Mishmi tribes. The Mishmi tribes have traditions and customs dating back to the times of Mahabharata. According to sacred Hindu traditions, Lord Krishna's first queen Rukmini was a Mishmi Damsel. The major Mishmi God is Ringyajabmalu and the major Mishmi festival is known as Tamladu puja. It is celebrated each year on the 15th of February. People from all communities and all walks of life are invited to join in the celebrations. The Holy Parsuram Kund is also nearby and thousands of Hindu pilgrims from all over India, and also from neighbouring countries, come to take a holy dip and wash away the sins of millions of births. This is accompanied with a fair at Tezu and takes place every year during the month of January. The road communication is through Tinsukia and the nearest airport is at Mohanbari. There is also a small airport at Tezu itself but service is very erratic and is mostly used for V.I.P.s and officials. The major agricultural products are mustard, ginger and oranges.
