==Historical background of the village and their crafts==
It is said that the name Asharikandi was derived from the combination of two words ''ASHAR'' and ''KANDI''. ''ASHAR'' or ''AXAR'' is the third month in Assamese calendar and ''KANDI'' (Assamese term) means 'shedding tears'. During ASHAR, heavy sub-tropical rainfall creates flood in this low-lying area, which causes the dwellers of this place to shed tears out of misery. Especially the potters suffer a lot. Because they cannot make, dry up, burn their products and even cannot store safely their earlier produced items during the rainy season. But they selected the place due to some ecnomically viable factors like the availability of raw materials, cheaper transportation facility, important strategic location, etc. The soil ''HIRAMATI'' is the soul of this craft. There are huge reserves of ''HIRAMATI'' in surrounding areas and the potters use the cheapest means of transport like boat as the village is just on the bank of the river Gadadhar, a tributary of the mighty Brahmaputra. For the purpose of selling the products, both the surface transport and water transport are availed. The closeness of the village to Brahmaputra has given a great an advantage for shipping network with the major cities.
