Majuli is a river island in the Brahmaputra River, located in the Indian state of Assam. It is the largest river island in the world and is spread over an area of around 880 sq. km. Majuli is known for its unique culture, which is a blend of Hinduism and the neo-Vaishnavite movement. The island is also home to a number of Satras (monasteries), which serve as centers of religious and cultural activities.

The Satras of Majuli are known for their religious significance as well as their contribution to the preservation of Assamese culture. They also serve as centers for learning, where people can learn traditional art, music, dance, and drama. The island is also known for its festivals, which are celebrated with great fervor and enthusiasm.

Majuli is a biodiversity hotspot and is home to a number of rare and endangered species of flora and fauna. The island is also known for its beautiful natural scenery, with lush green forests, rolling hills, and meandering waterways.

Majuli is accessible by ferry from the town of Jorhat, which is around 20 km away. The best time to visit the island is between October and March, when the weather is pleasant and the festivals are in full swing.
