It is situated on the Bilasipara-Kokrajhar state highway, around 12 km from [[Kokrajhar]] town and 9 km from [[Fakiragram]] [[railway station]]. The bazaar hosts weekly market on Monday and Friday. It has a small township comprising people of different backgrounds and as such they represent a mixed culture. The people of this Bazzar area basically speak [[Goalpariya dialect|Goalpariya]], [[Assamese language|Assamese]], although Marawari, [[Bihari people|Bihari]] and [[Bengalis]]’ are also there. The people are primarily dependent on small-scale business. However, it is surprising that this the place where Motram Surajmal Dugar first established a small firm in 1906 and now it is a big business house, named "the MS Dugar group of companies" operate all over India.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://msdugar.com/msdh.asp |title=Motaram Surajmal Dugar 'HUF' - Lakhiganj Bazar, Dhubri, Assam |publisher=Msdugar |date= |accessdate=2013-01-01}}</ref>
