Answer:
Mājuli is a river island in the Brahmaputra river of Assam and in 2016 it was considered as the first island to be considered as a district of India. At the beginning of the twentieth century, it had an area of 880 sq km (340 sq mi), but lost considerably to mining, covering 352 sq km (136 sq mi) as of 2014. As the river around it rises, the Majuli shrinks.
The island is made up of the Brahmaputra River in the south and the Subansiri River in the north. [6] Mājuli Island is accessible by ferry from the city of Jyoti. The island is located about 300-400 kilometers (186-249 miles) east of Guwahati, the largest city in the state. It was formed by the Brahmaputra River and its tributaries, mainly the Lohitas, for transformation. Mājuli is the abode of Assamese-Vaishnavite culture
The island is the epicenter of Assamese-Vaishnavite culture, which was started around the 15th century by the revered Assamese Srimanta Sankardeva and his disciple Madhavadeva. Many of the sessions or monasteries built by the saints are still alive and well, representing the colorful anti-culture. The saints took refuge in Mājuli and spent some time in West Mājuli Belgur, which was a glorious place for the popular historical and auspicious occasion called 'Manikanchan Sanjog'; When Sankardeva got Madhavdev's log for the first time. Sankardeva Mājuli held the first session in Belguri. Sixty-five sessions were held after the Manikanchan Sanjog. Of course, today only twenty-two out of the original sixty-five are operational. Sixty-five Mājuli were located within the original sixty-five in Assam.
