The Duars (Gateway)
The name Darrang seems to have originated from the Sanskrit word Dwaram which means a Duar or a pass. In the past, there were some fixed Duars on the northern side of the district from which the various hill tribes descended to the plains from the Himalayan ranges. Some of the areas still have a suffix Duar to their names and one of the six passes on the northern side of the present district is called Khaling Duar . Another possible origin of the name is the word Devaranga which means the playground of Devas. There are several places in the district like Athrikhat, Khalingduar, Dhwalpur, Markandasram etc., show their ancient association with the mythic sages like Markedeya, Kaulinya, Atri, Yagyabalka etc.
