Patbaushi Satra, Majuli, Assam India

Patbaushi Satra: This Satra is located around 2 kms north of Barpeta town. This Satra is frequented by large number of devotees and visitors as it was a cultural centre from where Satriya culture, art forms and literature spread far and wide. Vaishnava Gurus like Shri Manta Sankardeva, Shri Madhavdeva, Shri Damodardeva and Shri Harideva stayed in this Satra for propagation of Vaishnava faith. Shrimanta Sankardeva lived here for 18 long years and composed various literary religious cultural texts. The scripts are carefully preserved here. Further, the state government has taken steps for preservation of these treasures of Assamese heritage and planning to setup a Shrimanta Sankardeva Museum at the premises of the Satra. The Damodar deva Satra is also located in the same premises.
