Orunodoi or Arunodoi (Assamese: অৰু্ণোদই, English: Sunrise) is the first Assamese language magazine published from Sibasagar, Assam in 1846. This magazine created a new era in the world of Assamese literature and gave birth to notable authors like Anandaram Dhekial Phukan, Hemchandra Barua, Gunabhiram Barua and Nidhi Linai Pharowal. The magazine took the initiative of innovating the then Assamese dialect instead of borrowing words from other languages. The Assamese people got to know about the western world only through this magazine that opened the gate to the modern literacy in Assam. It mainly included various news related to current affairs, Science, astrology, history and also trivia although Christanity was its main aim. The publishing of the magazine came to an end when the printing press was sold in 1883.^[1][2]
