		Sattriya, perhaps more than any other dance form of India with the arguable exception of Manipuri, is drenched in bhakti.
		The question, then, is what kind of dance, sanctified by the Sattriya tradition, and practised in at least some of the scores of satra-s that dot the length and breadth of the State, can best convey this core of devotion on stage, during a performance.
		Now that Sattriya dancers are busy at national and international forums, and Sattriya dance is now being viewed as a viable option for performers, there are at present many schools imparting training in this field.

		This paper-presentation is an interdisciplinary study of contemporaneity of 550 years old dance culture called Sattriya dance of Assam in northeast India, through transcultural metaphorical association with ‘heaven’ and ‘earth’.
		It examines the role of Sattriya dance in promoting multi-dimensional cultural identities for ritualistic monks, male and female dance practitioners and contemporary audiences in India and overseas.
		It is argued that Sattriya dance culture today represents ‘neo-traditionality’, where inventions of new cultural and artistic traditions interact with existing old traditions, and carries implicit ideological positions from within and outside organizational categories of liberal religion, identity, gender and territorial borders.
