It is one of Assam's most well-renowned and principle monastic Satra, established by Banamali Dev Goswami in 1654 under the patronization of Ahom King Jayadhwaj Singha. This Satra particularly belongs to Brahmasamhati sect, founded by Damodardev.
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]

Dakhinpat Satra is well known for its annual Rass festival and Brahmaputra Puja, held after every twelve years.
