Majuli, the largest river island in the world, is the centre of attraction on this week’s episode of the Lajong Amazing North East Diaries. Situated in the Brahmaputra River in upper Assam and accessible only by ferry, the island is world renowned for its cultural heritage.
Alen and Milan spend the day sightseeing and learning about two important satras (socio-religious institutions) located on Majuli, both of which were established centuries ago and have weathered the sands of time.
While the ornate Dakhinpat Satra is known for its celebrations of Rasleela, Samaguri satra is famous for mask making and the two institutions play an important role in keeping Assamese traditions alive. All this plus the stunning visuals on offer will surely put Majuli on your list of must-see destinations!
