Neo-Vaishnavism, a platform aimed at developing community-based cultural tourism in the state of Assam, holds significant potential to showcase the rich cultural heritage and religious practices of the region. Assam, located in northeastern India, is renowned for its deep-rooted spiritual traditions and historical importance as the birthplace of Neo-Vaishnavism, a unique devotional movement. Assam's Neo-Vaishnavism movement centres around the teachings of revered saint-scholar Srimanta Sankardev, who introduced a unique blend of spirituality, music, dance, and drama to disseminate spiritual wisdom among the masses. Neo-Vaishnavite monasteries, known as Sattras, serve as important cultural and religious centres, preserving and propagating the essence of this spiritual tradition. These Sattras also house invaluable artefacts, and manuscripts, and perform traditional art forms, making them ideal destinations for cultural tourism. The development of community-based cultural tourism in Assam requires a multi-faceted approach. It involves collaborating with local communities, empowering them through capacity-building initiatives, and facilitating infrastructure development to ensure their active participation in the tourism value chain. By fostering cultural sensitivity and responsible tourism practices, neo-Vaishnavism as a platform can contribute to the economic growth of the region while preserving its cultural fabric.
