Bhawna
Bhaona is a traditional performing art form that originated in Assam. It is a Hindu religious art form, in which scenes are enacted from various mythological events and folklore. The art evolved from the songs composed by Vaishnavite saint Sankardev in the early sixteenth century CE.
A Bhaona is a performance of Ankiya Nat or one-act play. A sutradhar acts as the director and narrator of the performance. The act is performed by actors (Bhaoriya) accompanied by singers (Gayan), and music from traditional instruments played by instrumentalists (Baayan).
