Majuli is one of the world’s largest river islands but is constantly challenged by the ever-changing Brahmaputra. Birthed from a flood during the 17th century, the island spans over 136 square miles and is home to more than 150,000 people, three languages and a multitude of cultures. Many people practice neo-Vaishnavite, a major Hindu denomination, and partake in Bhaona, or stage performances of events well documented in Hindu scripture. Handcrafted bamboo and clay masks that depict deities and characters feature in these performances, bringing the scriptures to life.
