Assam: Barpeta Satra Committee urges devotees to wear traditional attire while visiting Kirtanghar

The Satra Managing Committee is attempting to preserve the Sattriya heritage of Barpeta Satra by encouraging worshippers to wear traditional attire while visiting Barpeta Satra's main kirtanghar. Although the Satra Committee has not made traditional attire mandatory, it has decided to make a request in order to preserve Satra's dignity and traditions.
 
The secretary of the satra managing committee stated that if any devotee/visitor desires, the satra managing committee will offer the dress at the time of entry into the satra kirtanghar. The Satra Samiti's request that devotees wear traditional garb when visiting the kirtanghar of Barpeta Satra established by Mahapurush Madhavdev Guru is viewed positively by the devotees.
