| About Majuli Tourism |
Majuli is
one of the most unique tourism destinations in Assam, 12 km north of Jorhat, and
310 km away from Guwahati. It is the largest riverine island in the world, and
is a patch of 800 sq km of land in the middle of the Brahmaputra River.
A visit to Majuli unfolds a variety of interesting traditional handicrafts,
ethnic music and dance forms, and an experience of real village life and tribal
culture. The island is inhabited by tribes in the north, and Vaishnaviite
‘satras’ or monasteries, who preserve a unique lifestyle. Founded in the 15th
century by Shankardeva, a renowned spiritual guru of Assam, Majuli is a living museum.
Sightseeing Highlights
Some of
the main ‘satras’ in the island are Dakhinpat Satra, Garamurh Satra, Auniati
Satra, Kamalabari Satra, Bengenaati Satra and Samaguri Satra. These communities
are the treasure house of folk culture, song and dance that has evolved from
the days of Shri Shankardeva. You may also stay |
