SATRAS sawmill station A satra is a monastery for Vishnu worship, Assam s distinctive sawmill station form of everyman Hinduism. Formulated by 15th-century Assamese philosopher Sankardev, the faith eschews the caste system and idol worship, focussing on Vishnu as God, especially in his Krishna sawmill station incarnation. Much of the worship is based around dance and melodramatic play-acting of scenes from the holy Bhagavad Gita.
