    The traditional Mukha made in the satras of Majuli are divided into three categories based on their size and structure.
    • Su-mukha or Bor mukha
    • Lutukai-mukha or Suti mukha
    • Mukh mukha

    • Su-mukha or Bor mukha
    Su mukha is largest among all the masks. It can range from 8-10fts of heights. The face and the body of the mask are made separately, and are attached to the wearer, during the bhaona. Characters such as Ravana, Narasimha, are typically adorned with this type of masks.

    • Lutukai-mukha or Suti mukha
    Lutukai mukha looks similar to Su mukha, however differs in structure. Lutukai mukha is designed in a way to allow more movement of the hands and head of the mask.
