Abstract	The plays created by the great saint Sankardev are the foundation of Assamese nation and culture. Bhaona is a wonderful amalgamation of dance, song, drama, and acting. In the life of the people of Assam, the uniquely created Ankiya Bhaonas by Srimanta Sankardev and Madhavdev hold a special place. Through the performance of Bhaona, the gurus tried to convey the philosophical teachings of religion and the knowledge of scriptures to the common people through special enactments. Over time, Bhaona became an inseparable part of Assam's social life and culture. This Bhaona embodies devotion to God, deep respect, religious faith, and tradition. The uniqueness of Bhaona lies in its musical aspect. To build a healthy society, education, consciousness, social responsibility, morality, and one's own cultural tradition are extremely essential. The primary goal and purpose of the Ankiya plays created by the supreme artists, the gurus, was to unite everyone in the spirit of oneness.
