Sattriya is a classical dance form that originated in the monastic community of Assam known as the "Sattra" or "Sattras". It is one of the eight classical dance forms of India. Sattriya dance is deeply rooted in Assamese culture and combines elements of music, dance, drama, and religious expression. It was traditionally performed as a part of the religious rituals in the Sattras, but over time, it has evolved into a distinct classical dance form with its own repertoire, movements, and styles.
