Majuli, the river island, is located in the Brahmaputra river.

Majuli is a large river island in the state of Assam, India, formed by the Brahmaputra River in the south and the Kherkutia Xuti, an anabranch of the Brahmaputra, joined by the Subansiri River in the north.

Majuli is famous for being one of the world’s largest river islands (though its size has decreased due to erosion) and a significant cultural and religious centre in Assam, particularly associated with Vaishnavism. The Brahmaputra is one of the major rivers in Asia, flowing through India and Bangladesh. The Jamuna and Padma are names used for the Brahmaputra and Ganga respectively, but primarily in Bangladesh. Majuli is located within India on the Brahmaputra itself.
