Majuli has shrunk as the river surrounding it has grown. However, it is recognised by Guinness Book of World Records as World's Largest River Island.
The island is formed by the Brahmaputra river in the south and the Kherkutia Xuti, another branch of the Brahmaputra, joined by the Subansiri River in the north.
The island is inhabited by Mising tribes, Deori and Sonowal Kachri tribes.
At the world'slargest inhabited riverine island, ancient cultural traditions and nature blend into everyday life seamlessly.
