Khonikar Puthi is combination of Kirtan Ghosa written by Mahapurush
Srimanta Sankardeva and Namghosa written by Mahapurush Madhavdeva.
This Khonikar Puthi was copied by somenone in 1690. The book is called
Khanikar Puthi because the 'Puthi' is kept by the Khanikar family in
Khanikar village of Michamora mouza in Golaghat district. It is
believed that the 'Puthi' came to the family during the Maan
aggression. According to an article by Narayan Baruah on Khaonikar
Puthi, the Maans during their attack, left the Puthi at the residence
of Mani. People of the area believe that a super power exists within
the Puthi. Many people all over the State invite the Puthi to their
families. The Puthi is always taken to different places on foot with
respect from the Khanikar village. It is believed that whatever we
pray can be achieved if we pray the Puthi. This is a legacy that is
going on. This puthi is being maintained by Bhabesh Baruah, Arun
Bikash Baruah, Tirthanath Baruah, Heramba Baruah. This puthi is not
just a book, but it is a property and organization for the people.
I can provide this info in abridged form.
