'''Pahukata'''(পহুকটা) is a village located in the [[Kalabari (Assam)|Kalabari]] Area of Sonitpur District in [[Assam]]. It falls under the [[Gohpur]] Sub-Division. The village is divided into two parts by the river ''Mornoi''.
The northern part is named Uttar-Pahukata (North-Pahukata), and the southern part is called the Dakshin-Pahukata (Southern-Pahukata). Due to the increase in population, both parts of Pahukata now introduce themselves as different villages.

==History==

Pahukata was a dense forest with many wild animals. During olden times, King of Darrang district comes to Kalabari and stay in some nearby area of Pahukata. The guards of the king go to the dense forest to catch deer (''Pahu'' means deer in Assamese) and bring to this village for cutting (''Kata'' means cutting in Assamese). Hence, Pahukata got its name.

==Uttar-Pahukata==

''Uttar-Pahukata'' is the northern part of the Village. Towards its east is the ''Gagol-gaon'', to its west is the ''Mikirborachuck'', towards the north is the ''Barbheti'' and to its south lies the ''Mornoi'' river, which separate the ''Dakshin-Pahukata'' from ''Uttar-Pahukata''.
The eastern part of the village is called the ''Ujjai-Chuck''(means up-hill-region), which is the dwelling place for ''Bhuyan'' and ''Rajkhowa'' family, whereas the western part is called the ''Bhatiyai-Chuck'' (Means down-hill-region) is mostly dominated by the ''Hazarika'' family. Because of this some people prefer to say ''Hazarika-chuck'' to ''Bhatiyai-Chuck''.
For any religious or social gathering all the people of the village meet at the only [[Namghar]] called the Pahukata Namghar, which is situated in the right middle of the village for its easy access.
The village also has a Lower Primary school near to the ''Hazarika-chuck'' called the ''Pahukata Parthamik Vidyalaya''. All the small children have their primary education from this school.
The water supply of the Public health is located towards the extreme west of ''Uttar-Pahukata'', after which the ''Mikirborachuck'' village starts.

==Dakshin Pahukata==

Dakshin Pahukata is located towards the southern part of the village. It has [[Kasturba High School]] in the midst of the village.
