INTRODUCTION Cultural tourism has a special place in India because of its past civilisation. Among the various motivating factors governing travel in India, cultural tourism is undoubtedly the most important. For any foreigner, a visit to India must have a profound cultural impact and in its broader sense, tourism in India involves quite a large content of cultural content. It also plays a major role in increasing national as well as international good will and understanding. Thousands of archaeological and historical movements scattered throughout the country provide opportunites to learn about the ancient history and culture. India has been abundantly rich in its cultural heritage. Indian arts and crafts, music and dance, fairs and festivals, agriculture and forestry, astronomy and astrology, trade and transport, recreation and communication, monumental heritage, fauna and flora in wildlife and religion play a vital role in this type of tourism. Thus, it can be very well said that there remains a lot of potential for the progress of cultural tourism in India. Culturally, North East represents the Indian ethos of „unity in diversity‟ and „diversity in unity‟. It is a mini India where diverse ethnic and cultural groups of Aryans, Dravidians, Indo-Burmese, Indo Tibetan and other races have lived together since time immemorial.

  • Namghar’ with Monuments in South East Asia
    ISVS e-journal, Vol. 5, no.2, June, 2018 A Comparative Visual Study of Design Elements of Social Cultural Institutions, ‘Namghar’ with Monuments in South East Asia Charu Monga, Amarendra Kumar Das Department of Design, Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati, India Abstract Namghar is an important socio-cultural institution, which plays a significant role in bringing together diverse communities especially from urban and rural areas as well as those who had fled to Assam from different South East Asian countries in the past. Many studies have shown the influence of East Asian Countries in Assamese music and culture. However, studies looking at the influences of other countries on the design elements of Namghar are hard to find. The objectives of this study are to provide visual documentation of design elements of Namghar and other institutions in South East Asia and to compare and discuss any differences in forms among them. One monument each from Vietnam, Indonesia and Thailand was selected for a comparative study. Field observations using a high-resolution camera were made. It was found that though the outer forms of design elements of these social- cultural institutions are different, their symbolism and significance have profound similarities. Moreover, the influence on design elements of Namghar is related to Hinduism and also historical movement of tribes from Nagaland and Ahom kingdoms. While monuments in Indonesia are closely related to Hinduism, those in Bangkok and Vietnam appear to be influenced by Buddhist and Chinese architecture respectively. This comparison will help to preserve heritage, respect and promote culture and also any further re-design under rapid urbanization.

  • Chapter Iv Vaisnavism and Satra Institution in Assam
    CHAPTER IV VAISNAVISM AND SATRA INSTITUTION IN ASSAM The vaisnavite movement of Assam initiated by Shri Sankaradeva during the last part of fifteenth century of Christian era is remarkable for the religious and social life of medieval Assam. Its impact on religion, literature, fine arts and social life of Assam, particularly on the Brahmaputra valley is indeed great. Now the details of vaisnavism are discussed below- Vaisnavism “Vaisnavism is the cult of worshipping Vishnu as the supreme deity in any one of his several forms. Later on vaisnavism was known as neo-vaisnavism, which had been propagated in the 15th 16th centuries onwards, stress was laid on bhakti and on the singing of prayer songs than on other priestly rituals” (Sarma, 1990: 327). The bhakti movement or the ekasharaniya-naam-dharma (religion to supreme devotion to one God) initiated by Sankaradeva towards the end of the 15th century reflects the religious, social and cultural history of the population of Assam (Nath, 1988: 306). Bhakti (a way to attain Holy Communion with God through devotion) movement was started by Sankaradeva at Bardowa which is situated at the middle of Assam. There after it spread throughout Assam, particularly in the Brahmaputra valley. Sankaradeva the father of this movement had to travel from one place to another place to avoid complexities that developed in the society in the course of his movement. This indirectly helped in the spread of his religion. This movement bred new ideas and institutions which upsurge religion, culture and other parameters. a) Vaisnavism in India: A social reform movement swept across India between the 12th and 15th century A.D and it was the bhakti movement based on the liberal doctrine of bhakti (Nath ed, 1989: 15).

  • Social Aspect of Sankardeva's Neo-Vaishnavism
    www.irjhis.com ©2021 IRJHIS | Volume 2, Issue 4 April 2021 | ISSN 2582-8568 | Impact Factor 5.71 SOCIAL ASPECT OF SANKARDEVA’S NEO-VAISHNAVISM AS A FACTOR OF ASSIMILATION AND INTEGRATION OF ASSAMESE SOCIETY Ms. Beauty Boruah Assistant Professor, Dept. of Philosophy, Jorhat Kendriya Mahahvidyalaya, Jorhat (Assam) DOI Link :: http://doi-ds.org/doilink/04.2021-79656735/IRJHIS2104010 Abstract: In Hinduism it is believed that in needs of time and situation God comes to the earth as an incarna- tion. There are ten incarnations described in Bhagavad. Besides these ten forms there are some other great personalities who were born in some situations which were marked as extremely social and religiously criti- cal. Every society has been facing some bleak situations and society becomes fragmented in different small groups in respect of religious belief. The religious life in medieval Assam before the rise of the Neo- vaishnavite movement was disintegrated and diversified one. But emergence of Sankardeva (1449-1568 AD) seemed to have mesmerized the people as a result of his Neo-vaishnavism and created conditions for harmo- nious living of people of diverse caste, communities and creeds. Sankardeva preached a very simple mode of religion which is absolutely free from ritualistic complexities and consisted of the easiest way of attaining li- beration. He brought about a change in the religious outlook of the people through his teachings; he also generated a strong community feeling among his disciples, which satisfied the feudal requirement of the time. He appointed persons of different caste to spread his religion in their respective societies.

Role of the State and Traditional Institutions in Identity Formation: A Study of the Namghar in Assam Ankita Dutta The Neo-Vaishnavite movement of Srimanta Sankardeva in the 14th century led to the subsequent formation of an ‘Assamese’ identity centering around the Sattra (a Vaishnavite monastery) and the Namghar (the former’s extended wing). Both the Sattra and the Namghar are intimately associated with the socio-cultural and religious life of the Assamese society. The ‘democratic’ institution of the Namghar provides a common forum for villagers to assemble and not only discuss collectively their common issues and problems but also resolve the local disputes of the village through locally evolved judicial procedures and methods.
