There are three Satras in North Guwahati. They are Garmur, Aauniati and Dihing Satra. These are situated in North Bank of river Brahmaputra. Aauniati Satra may be called a branch of main Aauniati Satra of Majuli. During the days of invasion of main warrior & rebellion of Marans, King Purnananda Buragohain most likely established this Satra with six satradhikar. Out of twelve Satras of Assam, this satra is a specific one. In every year, devotes of Majuli’s Aauniati Satra perform ‘Ankia Nat’ & ‘Palnam’ in this Satra of North Guwahati.
