Apart from being the epitome of culture, religion, natural realms, yoga, and a diverse ecosystem, this country is known for many other things. Among all, Occult rituals or Black Magic are one of the strangest things that are linked with India.

Some may dismiss it as a relic of the past, while others still believe it exists. Mayong Village Museum of Guwahati, India, is a living representation of the dark beliefs that exist. Black magic and witchcraft are frequently dismissed as laughable, but the Museum's collection tells another story.

Things floating in the air, humans vanishing as if they never existed, treatment of long-lasting diseases and pain - all with some mantras and finger snap is the goof around the village!

However, there is no legitimacy to these truths, but those who have experienced them assert that they are true, and those who haven't should reconsider their opinions. The Mayong Museum houses antiques and other items related to witchcraft, luring travelers to believe in the other side of the living world.

Mayong Village, Assam

A small village in the north-eastern zone of India is said to be the community of magicians, witches, and warlocks. It was once thought that magic was the source of better living and that it was solely used in the past for the advantage of people and their surroundings.

The origin of the name 'Mayong' is debatable; however, some believe that it was derived from the Sanskrit word 'Maya,' which means 'illusion' in English, and some say it is due to the residence of the Moirang clan in the area. Locals claim that not many villagers who are still alive are in touch with the power of magic, but there might be few people in the corners of dark forests who still possess power and tricks.

The entire village was once associated with the magicians; thus, practically every family has some relics and secrets that they have passed on to their generations. Today, most of those families have donated their miraculous possessions of magical heirlooms to the Museum of the Town.

An interesting fact about the Museum is that its ambiance will take you to the past of India, where people's beliefs were vastly different from what they are today. The Mayong Central Museum and Emporium was inaugurated on 1st November 2002 at around 1 pm by the state's government to document the country's spooky past.

Local legends and ancient scriptures such as the Ramayana and Mahabharata support Mayong's connection to dark magic, and archaeological finds of weapons and sharp artifacts in the area suggest human sacrifices in the past.

According to the Alamgir Nama, which documents Emperor Aurangzeb's first ten years in India, the Mughal emperors were afraid of the black power that resided in the area. All of these historical facts and others reveal a great deal about the existence of a wholly distinct India.
