Assam grows a large share of the world's tea, and the estates here are still worked by hand — plucking, withering, and rolling done the way it has been done since the industry began.
On Majuli, the world's largest river island, several distinct tribal communities maintain mask-making, dance, and farming traditions found nowhere else, on land the Brahmaputra keeps slowly reshaping.
