A many-sided personality- journalist, lecturer, poet and more especially writer- Lakshminath Bezbaruah set a high literary standard through the monthly periodical magazine "Banhi" which he edited and published. A versaltile writer, his works incluide plays, stories, poems, humorous sketches and works of literary criticism. Assam's first movie 'Joymoti' was made based on one of his play. It was perhaps in his plats that he found his best literary expression. His poem "O'mor Apunar Dexh" is among the best known songs of Assam and it is considered to be Assam's 'Jaatiyo Sangeet'. Also his collection of traditional stories 'Burhi aair xhaadhu' is supposed to be Assam's most popular story book till date. Into Assam's literary tradition he breathed new life, and he areated new horizons. Honours sought him out in his later life.
In 1921, he presided over the All-Assam Students' Conference at Guahati. Two years later he was honoured as "Rasraj" for his humorous writings. He presided over the Guahati session of the Assam SahityaSabha in 1924. His role in the Vaishnavite religious revival in Assam was recognised when in 1933 he was invited to deliver a series of lectures on the subject at Baroda. He passed away in his seventieth year, only a few months after he went back to live in Assam permanently. Lakshminath Bezbaruah was not only a literary figure of outstanding eminence but a distinguished leader of modern Assam.
