Kazi & Ranga

There is an interesting story about how the name Kaziranga came about: a young man Kazi from Karbi Anglong fell in love with Ranga, a village belle from the Assam plains. The parents would not approve of their courtship, so they could only fleetingly meet in the forest. The forest became their favorite abode. One day both of them suddenly disappeared never to return, much to the anguish of their respective parents. The forest was thereafter named Kaziranga in the memory of the young lovers.
