In Assamese culture, “Dangoria” is a revered term used in the Vaishnavite tradition to refer to a spiritual leader or guru, often the head of a Satra (monastic institution) or a respected saintly figure.
Burha Dangoriya is known to be a holy spirit who is a protector of 'Naam-Ghor' – which are community places of worship. He is believed to resemble an elderly man in an all-white attire including a magnificent white turban.
