They recite verses from holy books like kirtan, bhagwat, Naam Ghosa and others, accompanied by rhythmic clapping and sometimes with ethnic musical instruments. Though its function is limited to religious activities, It is also used as a community hall where various educational, political, cultural and developmental activities are discussed and undertaken in a democratic manner. It is considered to be a contribution of the neo-vaishnavite movement in Assam.
Namghars were introduced in Assam by the Vaishnavite saint Sri Srimanta Sankardeva (1449-1569). Namghar contains a ‘singhashun’ (throne) at its one end, opposite to the main entrance. This throne, containing a holy book for worshiping purpose, is usually supported by the idols of 4 elephants, 24 lions and 7 tigers. The hall also contains idols of mythical figures like Garoor, Hanuman, ‘Nagar’ and ‘Ananta.’
