His ''Cihna Yatra'' is regarded as one of the first open-air theatrical performances in the world. ''Cihna yatra'' was probably a dance drama and no text of that show is available today. Innovations like the presence of a ''Sutradhara'' (narrator) on the stage, use of masks etc., were used later in the plays of [[Bertolt Brecht]] and other eminent playwrights. These cultural traditions still form an integral part of the [[Culture of Assam|heritage of the Assamese people]].
