Sattriya Dance

Sattriya dance is a classical Indian dance form originating from Assam, India, traditionally performed in monasteries called Sattras. It combines expressive storytelling, precise movements, and devotional themes, mainly depicting stories from Hindu mythology, especially Lord Krishna. The dance emphasizes graceful gestures, emotional expression, and spiritual devotion, often accompanied by traditional music and costumes. Originally created as a religious offering, Sattriya has evolved into a recognized secular art form and is performed on stage worldwide, showcasing India’s rich cultural and spiritual heritage through its elegant and meaningful movement language.
