SRIMANTA SANKARADEVA KALAKSHETRA

Srimanta Sankardeva Kalakshetra is a premier cultural institution of Assam, located at Panjabari in Guwahati. It was conceived as a comprehensive center to preserve, promote, and showcase the rich cultural heritage of Assam and the wider North-East India. The Kalakshetra is named after Srimanta Sankardeva, the great Vaishnavite saint, reformer, poet, and cultural icon of Assam, whose ideals of art, devotion, and social harmony deeply influenced Assamese society.
Established in 1990, the Kalakshetra functions as a cultural village. Its architectural layout reflects traditional Assamese styles, including features inspired by Satra institutions and indigenous houses. The complex houses museums, exhibition halls, an open-air theatre, art galleries, a library, and spaces for cultural performances. The museums display folk art, costumes, musical instruments, manuscripts, sculptures, and models depicting the life and traditions of different ethnic communities of Assam.
Srimanta Sankardeva Kalakshetra plays a vital role in cultural education by organizing festivals, workshops, seminars, and performances related to classical, folk, and tribal arts. It stands as a symbol of Assam’s unity in diversity and serves as an important center for cultural research, tourism, and the preservation of Assamese identity.
