Chhinna Jatra, Assamese DramaChhinna Jatra is a form of drama performed in the earlier days for the mere amusement of the spectators. This form of drama existed before the arrival of the Bhaona dance. The Bhaona dance had replaced the Chhinna Jatra which had no proper rules and regulations for its execution. It neither had an appropriate beginning nor a suitable ending. Hence, it began abruptly and also had an abrupt finish. The drama was replete with Shringar Rasa, amorous and erotic. The main thought of the Chhinna Jatra was to provide enjoyment and gratification to the spectators. Hence, it even lacked the religious aspect.
