History
Rasmandir, like other Satras in Majuli, traces its origins to the 15th-16th century during the neo-Vaishnavite movement led by Srimanta Sankardeva. It was established as a center for religious and cultural practices, focusing on the worship of Lord Vishnu/Krishna. Over centuries, it has served as a school for the arts, particularly for music, dance, and drama, with Raas Leela being a central performance. The Satra has played a vital role in preserving and promoting the unique cultural identity of the island and the teachings of Vaishnavism. It has withstood natural calamities and social changes, maintaining its traditional structure and practices.
