History
The first edition of Alcheringa took place in 1996. Only a few events were organised and most of the participation was local from in and around Guwahati. The word 'Alcheringa' comes from the Australian aboriginal language of the Aruntas. It is roughly translated to mean "the Eternal Dreamtime".
