Satras are similar to monasteries and are unique to Assam. Satras were conceived & founded by Sankardeva and then by his followers to propagate and promote Vaishnav religion along with many types of art forms, known as the Satriyaa Art - a characteristic stream in Assamese culture. One of the oldest stara is the Khatara Satra located at Dipila and was established by Lechakonia Govinda Atai in 1568.
