The mascot, designed by Assistant Commissioner Udeshna Sarma, is a cheerful, blue, river-themed character symbolising the Brahmaputra. Dressed in traditional Assamese attire, “Kamrupiya” carries signboards representing both the North and South Bank regions of the district.
Highlighting its significance, officials said the mascot reflects Kamrup’s unique geographical identity, divided by the Brahmaputra River. It also showcases the six Legislative Assembly Constituencies—Chamaria, Boko-Chhaygaon, and Palashbari in the South Bank, and Hajo-Sualkuchi, Rangia, and Kamalpur in the North Bank. Authorities believe the creative initiative will make election outreach more engaging and accessible, helping ensure greater public participation in the democratic process.
