Among the dead were the groom and his relatives, who were travelling to the bride's house to attend wedding rituals. Local people rushed to the scene and tried to save passengers trapped inside the vehicle, TV channels reported.
The accident took place on Monday night in Kamrup district, 30 kilometres (20 miles) from Assam's main city of Guwahati. About 40 people were thought to be on the crowded bus, with several taken to hospital with serious injuries.
"We have recovered 25 bodies so far and six people have been rescued by locals. The search operation is still on," senior police officer A. Das told AFP by telephone from the accident site.
In another road incident in Assam late on Monday, four people were burnt to death and 12 severely injured when a tanker carrying petrol turned over and exploded on a highway causing a fire in nearby homes.
"The tanker skidded off the road. Several homes along the highway were set ablaze and sleeping villagers were killed," said police officer B. Bora.
