Assamese society is called Vaishnu Samaj, because they are devotees of god Vishnu. Ramkatha, the story of Ram, an incarnation of god Vishnu, based on Valmiki Ramayana, is presented by a dedicated group of artists led by a sutradhar, who takes the story ahead stage by stage. The presentation includes singing of songs, music, gestures and dance. The main instruments used are flute, harmonium and dholki. The influence of Shastriya Sangeet – classical music, is prominent.
