Assam’s Sattriya culture to take centerstage with dance, music & drama at Maha Kumbh Mela
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Guwahati: For the first time, the vibrant Sattriya culture of Assam will be showcased at the prestigious Maha Kumbh Mela 2025 in Prayagraj.

Traditional Sattriya dance, singing, and drama will be performed by a 40-member troupe from Majuli’s Aauniati Satra, providing a rare glimpse into the depth and richness of Assam’s cultural and spiritual heritage.

The troupe will perform Ram Vijay Bhaona, a devotional play by Srimanta Sankaradeva, along with Diha Nam (congregational singing) and Apsara Dance, accompanied by traditional instruments like flute, violin, khol, cymbals, and dotara.

The group will also showcase the intricacies of the art form by performing both feminine (Stri Bhangi) and masculine (Paurashik Bhangi) dance techniques.

Sattriya, a devotional art form founded in the 15th century by renowned Vaishnava saint and religious reformer Srimanta Sankaradeva, blends dance, theatre, and music to propagate the teachings of Lord Krishna.

It was officially recognized as one of India’s classical dance styles in 2000.

The performances at the Kumbh Mela will reflect the complex narratives and profound spiritual concepts that are central to this classical dance form.

Pitambar Dev Goswami, Satradhikar of Aauniati Satra, expressed pride in showcasing Assam’s heritage at the Kumbh Mela.

The team will perform a Bhagawat reading while in Prayagraj from January 31 to February 10, 2025.

By participating in the holy Kumbh Mela, which will be held from January 13 to February 26, Assam will not only showcase its cultural traditions to an international audience but also achieve a significant milestone in its cultural development.
