Abstract: Assamese culture is the result of various religious groups assimilation and their common cultural elements. The process of globalisation has also impacted on the religious aspect of Assamese culture and literature. There were various religious folklores and rituals of Assamese culture and literature in the early period. But those religious folklores and rituals have been reformed with the help of modern education as a result of globalisation. Assam is a land having a rich cultural identity of its own. The Assamese culture has been shaped as a result of cultural assimilation of various ethnic and cultural groups, spanning over a period of 2000 years. Each ethno-cultural system and sub-system have their own distinct identity which are reflected in the form of language, literature, cuisine, festivals, etc.
