Guwahati’s Last Sunset Of 2025

Visuals emerging from the riverbanks quickly found their way across social media platforms, with users calling it “Assam’s golden goodbye” and “the most peaceful way to end 2025.” Boats drifted slowly on shimmering waters, temple bells echoed faintly, and the winter fog gradually lifted, revealing a city stepping into a brand-new year with optimism.

For Guwahati, the last sunset of 2025 was more than a visual spectacle. It was a pause, a collective moment of reflection. The river shimmered as boats floated across glowing waters, temple bells echoed softly, and the city’s skyline stood bathed in warm hues. Residents described the evening as calm yet powerful, offering closure to a year shaped by moments, memories and milestones.
