Six Mile is a busy junction on GS Road in south-east Guwahati, named for its distance from the old city centre. It has grown into a lively hub of shops, restaurants, cafés, hospitals and offices, with residential neighbourhoods such as Jayanagar, Panjabari and Khanapara nearby. For Myra members, Six Mile is a convenient and well-connected place for a first date, especially for people living in the eastern parts of the city. Introductions here often include people from Khanapara, Panjabari, Jayanagar, Beltola and Dispur, depending on your distance limit. The area’s restaurants and cafés are popular in the evening, and the Srimanta Sankaradeva Kalakshetra cultural complex in Panjabari is a short ride away for a daytime visit. For a calm first meeting, a café a little away from the main junction offers a quieter place to talk. Weekends bring families to the restaurants, while weekday afternoons are quieter and good for a relaxed coffee. In the cooler months, the evening air is pleasant for a short walk after dinner. The name comes from the old milestones along the Shillong road, and the nearby Khanapara area is known for counters selling tickets for teer, an archery-based game from the Khasi hills. The Jayanagar area has many hostels and student homes, and the Srimanta Sankaradeva Kalakshetra, opened in 1998, celebrates the legacy of the saint and reformer who shaped Assamese culture through music, drama and dance in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.
