As the Brahmaputra shifts and reshapes Majuli, the Satra remains a sanctuary where faith finds its face, again and again. #ShamaguriSatra #Assam #MajuliIsland #DiscoveryChannelIn #DiscoveryChannelIndia

Every mask tells a story, every performance becomes a prayer. In Shamaguri, art isn’t just created, it’s worshipped.

Made from bamboo, clay, and cloth, these masks come alive during the island’s famed Bhaona performances, spiritual plays that blend theatre, dance, and faith.

Here, monks handcraft intricate masks of gods, demons, and mythical beings, continuing a 400-year-old tradition started by the saint Srimanta Sankardeva.

Tucked away in Assam’s Majuli island, Shamaguri Satra is no ordinary monastery, it’s a living museum where devotion takes form through art.

The Aarti isn’t just a ritual; it’s where earth, fire, water, and spirit come together, a reminder that sometimes, prayer isn’t spoken, it’s felt in the glow of a thousand flames. #Ganga #GangaAarti #DiscoveryChannelIn #DiscoveryChannelIndia

The Ganga, worshipped as a goddess, becomes a living symbol of faith, flowing endlessly, cleansing, and connecting millions.

Priests lift great bowls of fire, circling them to the rhythm of hymns, while the golden reflection of flames dances across the water, turning the river into a stream of molten light.

The Ganga Aarti, a centuries-old ritual of gratitude to the river that gives life, transforms the banks into a spectacle of light and devotion.

Every evening, as the sun sinks behind the Shivalik hills, the ghats of Har Ki Pauri in Haridwar come alive with chants, bells, and flickering flames.

Visiting Lamayuru feels like stepping into a realm where nature, legend, and devotion merge, a place where the moonlit landscape whispers secrets of time, resilience, and spiritual wonder.

Every year, during the Yuru Kabgyat festival, monks perform intricate cham dances in elaborate masks, believed to ward off evil spirits and bless the land.

Inside, murals of Buddha, fierce protective deities, and celestial beings line the walls, their colors surprisingly vivid despite centuries of Himalayan winters.

Legend says the monastery was founded where an ancient lake once existed, and when the lake dried, the monks established their seat of learning amid the barren cliffs.

Built in the 10th century, it is one of the oldest and largest monasteries in the region, a silent witness to centuries of Himalayan history.

Nestled between barren moonscapes and rugged cliffs in Leh-Ladakh, Lamayuru Monastery, often called the “Moonland Monastery”, seems almost suspended between earth and sky.

Long before gymnastics had bars and beams, India had Mallakhamba, a sport where athletes perform gravity-defying poses on a smooth wooden pole. Born in 12th-century wrestling akharas, it trained warriors to fight with balance, agility, and focus. India’s original aerial sport ⚔️
