Abstract: In most parts of Assam, the Satriya culture is prevalent. Assamese culture is incomplete without this feature. To get to where it is now, the Satriya culture has undergone a major transition. In the 15th century, Srimanta Sankardeva and Sri Sri Madhabdeva founded this practice. Srimanta Sankardeva possessed a wide range of qualities. He was an Assamese poet, playwright, painter, and sculptor who contributed significantly to Assamese culture. He pushed for a pure, honest work culture, social discipline, humanized love, and universal religion acceptance. Education was a privilege reserved for a select few from society's top crust during Sankardeva's time. The mass people were still mired in a pit of illiteracy and ignorance. We shall study about the satriya culture, its evolution, importance, and Srimanta Sankardeva's contribution to society, culture, and education in this article.
