Auniati Satra Tourism

Auniati Satra, located on the cultural canvas of Majuli – the largest river island in the world – in Assam, India, is an epicenter of Vaishnavism and the artistic expressions of the Assamese civilization. Established in 1653 AD by Niranjan Pathak Deva, it's renowned for its 'Paalnaam' and 'Apsara Dance', reflecting the rich spiritual and cultural traditions. The Satra treasures ancient artifacts and scriptures that offer insights into Assamese history and religion. The monastery-like institution preserves the teachings of the great saint Srimanta Sankardev and his disciple Madhavdev. These religious and cultural gurus have shaped Assamese culture, imbuing it with dimensions of dance, drama, and music. Architecturally simple but spiritually uplifting, visitors are enchanted by the tranquil aura, rhythmic chants, and soulful performances. The Satra is not only a pilgrimage site but also a haven for cultural enthusiasts looking to immerse themselves in Assam's venerable traditions.
