The word 'Dhuburi' comes from a legendary lady named Netai-Dhubuni.
Legends say that Netai-Dhubuni was a laundress who used to wash clothes of the Gods and Goddesses in a small ghat in Dhubri.
The story is connected with Behula-Lakhindar.
Lakhinar was the son of Chand Sadagar and Behula was Lakhindar's spouse.
