Dakhinpat Satra
দক্ষিণপাট সত্ৰ
An ancient satra founded in 1584, with prayer hall walls covered in colorful painted reliefs. It is one of the most beautifully decorated monasteries on Majuli.
Dakhinpat Satra was founded by the Vaishnavite saint Vamsi Gopal Dev and was once supported by the Ahom royal family. The exterior walls of the prayer hall are decorated with brightly colored reliefs of animals, flowers, and mythological scenes, and the elaborate lintel carvings make it one of the most photogenic satras on the island. It is also one of the main venues for the Raas festival. Located in the southeast of the island near the Dakhinpat ferry landing, it can be combined with Samaguri Mask Satra in a half-day eastern route. Admission is free. Please remove your shoes before entering the prayer hall.
