Bhortal is a type of clappers developed by the Great saint and a social reformer Srimanta Sankaradeva. It was inspired by an instrument in Bhutan, and hence the name of the instrument. This dance performed using Bhortal is known as Bhortal Nritya. This dance form was designed by Narahari Burha Bhakat and later made popular by Mahananda Sutradhar - a Vaishnava devotee of the Barpeta Sattra of Assam. Bhortal dance is an energetic dance form adapted from the traditional Sattriya Thiya Naam.
