Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday inaugurated the North East’s largest auditorium, the Jyoti-Bishnu Antarjatik Kala Mandir, in Guwahati, marking a major addition to Assam’s cultural infrastructure.
Built at an estimated cost of Rs. 291 crore, the state-of-the-art complex can accommodate up to 5,000 people and is spread across 45 bighas (about 14.85 acres) in the Khanapara area of the city, officials said.
The facility houses a main auditorium along with a convention centre, five VIP suites and multi-level parking for around 450 vehicles.
Officials said the complex is equipped with advanced audio-visual systems and modern digital infrastructure to support large-scale cultural and public events.
