Majuli Mask of Assam

Majuli mask makers use thermocol to make masks lighter and more comfortable for actors. They also create small masks for decoration in drawing rooms and motor cars. Conventional masks restricted actors to static facial expressions, but innovators like Majuli mask artists allow actors to move their limbs, eyes, and lips, making performances livelier without compromising aesthetics. To promote mask-making, artists hold workshops both within and outside the state and create small masks in the form of wall hangings.
