The place got its name from a nearby waterfall. Akashiganga also finds mention as a "pithasthan" (a holy place associated with Shakti cult) in the Kalika Puran. Pilgrims take a holy dip in the nearby water pool formed by the Akashiganga waterfall. The site also offers a view of the Brahmaputra River from a distance.
The sacred Kund in Akashiganga is the chief attraction of the place. There is also a temple nearby. 100 meters down this path, one can observe a glowing object in the Kund.
