Gurudev Kalicharan Brahma was a social reformer, educationist and a Spiritual Leader in the Bodo Society. He was born on 5 october, 1862 in a very remote and forest village Khajigami, Porbotjora in Dhubri District of Assam.
A Bodo traditional homestead used to be decorated with the plantation of a sacred Sijou tree (hedge euphorbia) for worship of the Almighty God "Bwrai Bathou". Most houses were made of bamboo with thatched roof and mud plaster. It has changed drastically.
