The Vaisnavite Monasteries are an integral part of the breathtaking Sattras Assam socio-religious and cultural complex, which was established in the 16th century by the esteemed Saint Vaisnavite Srimanta Sankaradeva. Sattras is a truly exceptional institution that encompasses a wide array of socio-religious, cultural, and artistic domains. The Mask or Mukha, due to its portrayal of spiritual beliefs, has historically possessed a distinctive shape in Assam, making it an essential cultural and religious tradition. Masks have been utilized in rituals and festivities across the globe for centuries, and India has a rich cultural heritage in the art of mask-making. Majuli Island in Assam, renowned for its mask-making, holds a special place in the hearts of culture enthusiasts worldwide.
