The growth of blended culture in this region grown particularly in the areas of language, art and religion is due to the continuous process of assimilation of various races, castes and creeds of local people, invaders and migrated people. Dhubri District is bounded both by inter-state and International border West Bengal and Bangladesh in the west, Goalpara and Bogaigoan district of Assam, Garo Hills district of Meghalaya in the east, Kokrajhar district in the North, Bangladesh and state of Meghalaya in the south. The name Dhubri believed to have been derived from Netai Dhubuni , a washer woman mentioned in Padma Puran and Kalika Puran. It is known from the tale of Chand Sadagar, where the main character of the legendary folk tales called Netai used to wash the clothes of God and Goddess of heaven on the bank of the river Brahmaputra.
