Abstract
The most notable characteristic of the neo-Vaisnavite movement in Assam is the
Satra institution through which the faith was propagated and established. It may be
monastic as well as semi-monastic in form. The importance of this institution lies in the
fact that it is intimately connected with the Assamese society and it has become a part and
parcel of Assamese life. The history of Vaisnavism in Assam cannot be treated without
reference to the Satra institution. For the Vaisnavite movement in Assam the Satra
institution plays an important role in the spread of Assamese culture and acts as an aid in
making the Assamese society united. The Satra has been working as a center of various art
forms, such as Literature, Drama, Song and Dance, Craft and Painting etc.
The objective that has been formulated for the study was to know about the role of Satra
institution in Assam. The study also tried to study the role of Barpeta Satra in the spread of
art and culture. The study was based on both primary and secondary sources of
informations.
