Each tribe and ethnicity in the state has its own unique culture. All the cultures, with their unique traditions, music, dance, and mouth-watering delicacies, provide life giving prosperity to one culture, which is the culture of the country. Katria also said, "Assam embraces several beautiful tribes, sub-tribes, and people belonging to different ethnic groups. Assam is also a holy land of Maa Kamakhya and Great Mahapurush Sankardeva, whose blessings and teachings are helping in charting out our roadmap to guide us and strengthen our endeavour in making India a Viswa Guru."
