Majuli is the lone place in the state of Assam where the Raas Leela of Lord Krishna is celebrated through the plays enacted by the devouts. For the past several centuries, it is the tradition of the Majuli people to pay their obeisance to Lord Krishna by enacting his Raas Leela themselves.
In this “LANDSCAPE” session, I will be showcasing the Raas from Satra. Satras (Assamese: সত্ৰ) are institutional centers associated with the Ekasarana tradition of Vaishnavism. Chamaguri Satra is mainly known for the Goswami family who’s been into mask making for ages. Their great great grandfather started promoting these masks through different acts from the life of Lord Krishna portrayed through what’s called in the local language as Bhawna (Drama).
I am thankful to Mr. Hemchandra and Pradip Goswami for giving me an opportunity to showcase their age old art of mask making. Also, they do have all these masks from old to new displayed in their school Sangeet Kala Kendra.
Due to their varied taste in making masks, this art has also taken the attention of people from outside the country. Their masks are presently exported to other countries. But, the main essence lies with the art which is unique in itself.
I am super blessed for getting a chance to showcase my music along with a session in Sangeet Kala Kendra, Chamaguri Satra.
Also, some love for the youngest lineage of the family Anupam Goswami for helping me out with various information relating to social media and sending me the latest Raas video of 2020 from Majuli. Apparently, I got these videos fresh yesterday on the first day of Raas.
So, I thought this is a best way to contribute to Raas by showcasing one of the oldest culture and unique art which is fueled only through devotion towards the lord.
Happy Raas divas to everyone.
