Satra

Banamali Devgoswami, a prominent disciple of Vamshigopal, established the Satra under the patronization of Ahom King Jayadhwaj Singha, who endowed extensive land grants and provisions for the smooth functioning of this Satra.[1] The prestige and affluence of the Satra were further enhanced by Chakradhwaj Singha, Udayaditya Singha and Sulikpha who are considered to be the disciples of Banamalidev.[2]

The main idol worshipped here is of Lord Jadav Rai.[3] Dakhinpat Satra played a very important role in political and administrative affairs during the Ahom reign. It is also one of the Chari-Raj Satra, other viz., Auniati, Garmur, and Kuruabahi. The Satra belongs to the Brahmasamhati sect, founded by Damodardev and admitted some brahminical rites along with general devotional practices and took a rigid view on caste distinction.[4]

The monks of the Satra are called Bhakats and lead a life of celibacy. The head of the Satra is called Sattradhikar, next to him is the Deka-Adhikar or the successor to the Satradhikar. All pontiffs of the Dakhinpat Satra belong to the lineage of Banamalidev (1576-1683). Therefore one brother of the Satradhikar is allowed to marry and continue their lineage.[5]
