The 'sattradhikar' (head
priest) of Majuli's Ahotoguri Borsattra, Bhoben Narayan Dev
Goswami died in the Vaishnav monastery today.
He was 86, monastery sources said.
He was head of one of the oldest sattras in Majuli,
which is the world's largest river island and seat of Vaishnav
culture. The monastery was established in the 15th century by
Madhavdeva, a disciple of Sankardeva who was the founder of
Vaishnavism in Assam.
The sattraadhikar was later cremated within the sattra
premises, sources added.
