Tezpur literally means " the City of blood" courtesy this legend. It
says that Banasura, the Asura king of ancient Tezpur had a daughter who
fell in love with the grandson of Lord Krishna. When Banasura came to
know about this clandestine romance, he imprisoned her lover. And what
followed was a ugly war and bloodshed.
But sometimes, the legends can be so different from what we see today. This is rather a place where the virtues of love and compassion are in abundance. People in love with people, people in love with nature. So much so that they all seem to be con sanguine. That way, it is a city of blood. That should as per me, allow me this historical sacrilege, be the new legend of Tezpur!
