We visited Majuli, Assam last month, and we are still in awe with it! The lifestyle, the culture, the aura and most importantly the locals!
Majuli holds world record of being largest river island in the Guinness book of World’s record. The island is formed by Brahmputra river in South, and Subansari river in North, along with a tributary of Brahmaputra, Kherkutia Xuti.
It is first island to be made district in India (declared in year 2016). Majuli being a beautiful amalgamation of nature and culture is a strong contender for UNESCO’s World Heritage sites.
Majuli has been the cultural capital of the Assamese civilization since the 16th century. The famous saint Sankaradeva established first Vaishnava satra (monastery)back in 15 th century, and there are now 22 Vaishnava Satras in the city. We visited the four famous satras which are Auniati satra, Uttar Kamalbari, Samaiguri satra, and the Dakhinpat Satra. Tha Auniati satra being the largesst one, the Uttar Kamalabari satra is famous for its dance and drama performances, the Samaiguri satra is famous for mask making and the Dakhinpat being the oldest one.
We witnessed Bhaona performance during our stay in Majuli. We also visited the mask making workshops and learned about the process of mask making.
