Agnigarh Hill is a picturesque site in Tezpur, Assam, rich in mythological history.

The hill provides a panoramic view of the Brahmaputra River and Tezpur, exuding a serene charm that's accentuated by the stunning landscaped gardens, sculptures depicting Usha and Aniruddha's love story, and pathways that invite visitors for leisurely strolls. A significant highlight for visitors is the circular staircase that wraps around the hill leading to the top.

Good panoramic views but undermaintained park
Go there for good view of mighty Brahmaputra, reading about the story of murals on Wikipedia in advance of visit recommended to make most of it. Park needs more maintenance.
