Majuli - a ritual



A 'gayan-bayan' i.e. a 'community prayer' here we pray to god, to give solace, forgiveness and a place in his abode to the departed soul from this materialistic world.'Gayan-bayan' is deeply connected with almost all type of religious functions of 'Asomia' Hindu community. The 'text of verses' differs from the nature of religious function that which is taking place.
