Umananda Island  is the smallest inhabited river islet in the middle of river Brahmaputra, flowing through the city of Guwahati in Assam, a state in northeast India. A British officer named the island Peacock Island for its structure, which he thought resembled the splayed feathers of a peacock. It is visited mostly for its Shiva temple, the Umananda Temple, and is also home to a large population of golden langurs, an endangered species of primate. The islet can be reached via 10-minute ferry, available from Umananda Ghat, located near Guwahati Highcourt.
