*Mask art of Assam, Assam has a long tradition of mask making, it developed in the response to
Neo–Vaisnavism, initiated by Srimanta Sankardeva in the 15th century. These masks were developed for it to be used in the Bhaona's (Traditional drama of Assam). The art of making masks was prevalent in Satras for centuries, presently the Samaguri Satra is world-famous for its mask crafts.
Majuli masks of Assam receive the prestigious Geographical Indicator(GI) tag
for their unique cultural tradition.
