Agyathuri is a town in Kamrup district, situated on the north bank of the Brahmaputra River near city of Guwahati. The North bank portion of the Lachit Borphukan's legendary "Momai-kata" Garh was built in this strategic location to block the Mughal army before the Battle of Saraighat. It no longer exists, maybe it became part of the public road. A Saraighat Battle Memorial was built at Agyathuri to commemorate it.
