While unwrapping the research works undertaken by Indira, it is noteworthy to mention that she has enhanced Sattriya music repertoire by incorporating Borgeet (a distinct devotional genre of Indian classical music) into its fabric. The musical collaborations with Dr. Bhupen Hazarika and Khagen Mahanta have strengthened her efforts to popularize Sattriya music. Along with music the dance costumes were designed for women dancers using traditional and authentic Assamese fabric. The design carries the influence of traditional costumes worn by male monks. The Assamese ornaments worn by women on social occasions were incorporated into dance ornaments.
