#Bhasmachall
British had the practice of altering the names of places with the objective of vanishing the history and destroying the facts. For example Bhasmachal (Umananda) was renamed as Peacock Island, Ram Setu was renamed as Adam's Bridge, Mumbai as Bombay and so on .
In the middle of the river Brahmaputra and to the north of Guwahati city the Umananda temple is situated in a rocky island where Mahadev resides in the name of Bhairav of Maa Kamakhya Devi .
Different ancient literatures named this island as Bhairav Dham, Bhasmasila and Bhasmachall.
Ancient scriptures mention that when Lord Vishnu cut off the corpse of Sati with His Sudarsan Chakra, Lord Shiva looked around and finding nobody nearby went into a trance at Bhasmachall
