A very
strong current is now flowing over the original site of the kund but
massive boulders have in a mysterious way embedded themselves in a
circular formation in the river bed thus forming another kund in place
of the old.
The legend
behind the belief recorded in the Kalika Purana, is that the great sage
Parashuram washed away the sins of killing Kshatriyas (cause the latter
killed Prashurams father and waged a war against Brahmins) as he was a
Brahmin (because it is not correct of a Brahmin fighting a war or taking
up sword), in the waters of Brahma kund.
Annual
fair is held during Makara Sankranti, to which wild cows, rare fur-rugs
and other curios are brought down by the mountain tribes. There are also
facilities for trekking from Tezu to glow lake which takes one day,
hiking and river rafting and angling on the river Lohit.
Getting There
Tezu is linked with the adjacent
state Assam by road. Nearest bus station is at Tinsukia located at Tinsukia
Township. From this point Arunachal Pradesh State Transport Services (APSTS)
buses ply connecting Tinsukia and Tezu. Tezu is not connected with railway
as of now. The nearest railway station is at Murkongselek which is linked to
Delhi and Kolkata.
Tezu Airport has had
no scheduled services operating.
Dibrugarh Airport, also
known as Mohanbari Airport, located at Mohanbari is the nearest airport to
Tezu. From there taxi or
bus is always available.
