A town shaped by six centuries of history, faith, culture, stories and people.
Howly carries a remarkable history that stretches back around 600 years. From the story of Chandi Baruah and the origins of the name Howly to its evolving cultural identity, the town remains deeply connected to the heritage of Assam.
What began in 1928 at Howly Hatkhola as a three-day cultural celebration grew into one of the region's most significant gatherings, carrying generations of devotion, performance and community spirit.
Howly Raas Mahotsav begins at Howly Hatkhola as a three-day celebration.
Howly's growing importance and changing surroundings begin influencing the festival's future.
The Raas celebration moves from its original location following changes connected with NH31.
A large temple committee is formed, strengthening the organisation and scale of the celebration.
The new Raas temple is consecrated on January 31, marking another important chapter in Howly's cultural journey.
Six hundred years behind us. Generations ahead. This is Howly.
