    History

    Established in the 17th century by the followers of Sankardeva, a revered Vaishnavite saint, Natun Samaguri Satra has been a center for religious and cultural activities. Over the centuries, it has preserved the unique mask-making tradition, passing the skills down through generations. These masks are not just artifacts but are integral to the 'Bhaona' performances, which narrate stories from the Ramayana, Mahabharata, and the Bhagavata Purana. The satra has played a pivotal role in preserving and promoting this art form, making it an important cultural landmark in Majuli.
