Umananda Island : ウィキペディア英語版 | Umananda Island
Umananda Island (from Assamese ''Uma'', another name for the Hindu goddess Parvati, the wife of Shiva; and ''ananda'', "happiness") is the smallest river island in the midst of river Brahmaputra flowing through the city of Guwahati in Assam, a state in northeast India. The British named the island ''Peacock Island'' for its shape. ==Mythology== According to Hindu mythology, Shiva created the island for his wife Parvati's happiness and pleasure. Shiva is said to have resided here in the form of Bhayananda. According to a myth in Kalika Purana, Shiva burnt Kamadeva with his third eye on Umananda when he interrupted Shiva's deep meditation, hence its alternative name ''Bhasmachal'' (Assamese: ''bhasma'', "ash"; and ''achal'', "hill"; literally, "hill of ashes").
