BIHU:ORIGIN ,TRANSITION AND MODERNITY  By Arup Saikia

India is land of festival. Culturally regional nationalism is main uniting thread of socially, politically diverse country like India. Bihu is national festival of entire Indian state of Assam. 

                    Nobody knows when or how bihu was created ,but it is invariably confluence of three major cultures of Austro-Asiatic,Indo-Aryan and Tibeto-Burman.Later many immigrants from India and abroad including Muslims imbibe the Assamese culture and subscribe to flourish Bihu syncretizing with their own cultural elements and finally attained today's form.There is three different types of Bihu-Kati,Magh and Bohag celebrated in three agricultural period of life.

BIHU WORD:Deori people called Bihu as BISU(excessive joy). With historical evidence Bihu was carried by Deori, Chutiya and Kachari people from late twelve century in Sadiya based Chutiya Kingdom.But other Bodo kachari tribes like Tiwa,Rava,Mikir,Dimasa celebrate Bihu as Busu,Pisu,Busy Dima or Dumsi etc.But Bodo has uniquely address Bihu as Baisagu.Later simplified and partially sanskritised name popularly became Bihu.

RELIGIOUS ORIGIN OF BIHU: Bihu has been celebrated by various tribes of Bodo-kachari origin since ancient times. But as  stated above mediaeval Bihu is started from Sadiya Kingdom led by Chutiya.Copperplate inscription was found in Lakhimpur district (Erstwhile part of chutiya empire). Where, clearly mentioned,king Lakshminarayan on 1401AD granted land to Brahmins on auspicious occasion of Bihu.

                                  Bihu performance started from first week of Assamese month CHOT to last intervening night until start of month BOHAG.On the floors of THAAN(temples) dedicated to KECHAI-KHATI,DIKKARAVASINI or KOLIMOTI.Youngsters danced throughout night until last intervening night of CHOT.Being performed in night, this is called Rati(night) bihu. Very vigorous dancing postures of dancers believed to be attributes of Goddess.This is considered as indication of Goddess (Kolimoti)descended from heaven. Urukuwa or uruka start after perceived arrival of Goddess Kolimoti or Kechai-khati on earth in the end of month chot.Urukuwa or uruka is Sadiya-Kachari term means to end.

                           Next day of Uruka is Goru(cattle)bihu.On night of Goru bihu young people again danced in temples sacrificing animals to Deity.Then young people in folk visited village households to perform bihu which is called HUSORI.The tradition of starting HUSORI from temples by Sadiya-Kachari and other Tibet-Burma people gradually replaced by NAMGHAR(Assamese prayer house)for Arayan influence.Human sacrifices were also done on altar of Sadiya.But on occasion of Bihu it's clearly not known.

THEME OF BIHU:

Bohag or Rongali bihu is originally dance-centric natural platform for youngsters to express love and joy. First lyrics of bihu were called 'Bonoriya Geet 'i.e wild song of young hearts longing for lovers. 'Bonoriya Geet'(wild song)or bihu rooted its origin in paddy fields, jungle while grazing cattle far away from human settlements- suitable place to express suppressed longing and craving through these songs. Therefore songs have erotic undertone. 

BIHU AND BHAKTI MOVEMENT:

During bhakti (devotion)or neo vaishnavite movement from 15th century onwards under Assamese polymath,social reformer Saint Sankerdeva and teachings of his newly created religion EK SARAN(Motto-one supreme soul in universe)more energetically synthesized Assamese society breaking strict age old boundaries of caste or class system.

Although there was no direct influence on bihu for social renaissance-Sankerdeva has initiated by preaching his revolutionary religion (EK SARAN or devotional movement).But way and outlook of bihu perfomance had been changed dramatically. Some spiritually refined words and name of some hindu Gods taken in HUSORI(one kind of male bihu).Praying and blessing in the name of hindu Gods in Husori is effect of Bhakti movement. 

ROYAL RECOGNITION OF BIHU :

During heyday of Ahom dynasty on 1696 Ahom monarch Rudra Singha patronized bihu for the first time by inviting or permitting to perform in courtyard of Ranghar (house of joy).Immediately once considered a low key festival celebrated by few in riverbank or cultivation field,became widespread festival embraced by all people traversing different ethnic groups, caste and communities. Consequently  a new form of Assamese cultural nationalism had emerged.Songs are changed  from erotic or sensuous to panergyric type i.e-song sung praising king and his deeds. 

PARTICIPATION OF FEMALE:

Exact date isn't known when male and female allowed to dance together, which once considered social taboo.It's probably after royal recognition under Ahom monarchy,both sexes were started to participate together in bihu. 

BIHU UNDER BRITISH RULE:As a result of treaty of yandaboo(1826)signed between British and Burma, British entered and began to rule Assam. Before advent of British,Assam was politically ruled by two administration-one by Ahom dynasty in almost upper Assam upto Nowgong and lower Assam from Nowgong onwards by koch  kingdom .British virtually unified Assam and cultural exchange began between two prior disbanded state.Eventually popularity of bihu spread to lower Asssm also and incarnated as festival of whole Assam. 

               However in nineteenth century some new english educated Assamese intelligentsia like Haliram Dhekial Phukan, Anandaram Dhekial  Phukan, Gunabhiram Baruah, Kamalakanta Bhattacharya demoralized Bihu as dance of vulgar and barbarian. But by grace of cultural maestro Jyoti prasad Agarwala, literateur Lakshminath Bezbaruah, Poet Raghunat Choudhury, social worker Radha Govinda Baruah, Bihu had been widely promoted.

TYPES OF BOHAG BIHU:The most popular unique show of Bohag bihu is dance ,variably associated with different kind of bihu.

(I)HUSORI=Performed on courtyard of villagers started in 1896 in the courtyard of Ranghar (house of joy).Previously male only troupe, but now females also participate. 

(II)MUKOLI BIHU =Performed in open space, boys and girls mingling together. 

(III)JENG BIHU/RATI BIHU=Traditionally it is  direct counterpart of men only HUSORI. Performed by women  folk only.In JENG bihu no musical instrument is used.RATI Bihu is supposed to celebrate  at night away from men's eye symbolizing women liberation. Repertoire is the same of JENG bihu.

(IV)GOS TOLOR BIHU=Bihu under a banyan or big tree.It is previous version of MUKOLI bihu.

(V)FAAT BIHU =Prevalent modern postures of Bihu dance imitated from Faat bihu.Celebrated in Mohguli Chapori near Charikoriya river of Dhakuwakhana. It is one of the oldest Bihu of Assam.Faat means trading place or torn out. It's believed that traders from different places assembled there for bihu celebration.Moreover sections of people dispersed from Sadiya for Ahom-Chutiya conflict believed to be main motivational force behind this festival.For uncontrolled excitement and gaieties performers clothes were torn into strips and musical instruments were cracked. So this Bihu may be named as FAAT Bihu.

DIFFERENT DANCE AND ORCHESTRA 

(I)KHUPAT DHORA DANCE =Female bihu dancers dance swaying to orchestra of Dhol(drum),Tal(cymbals) Hutuli(made from mud),flute, Toka and Gogona(both are made of bamboo).This dance posture is to place dancers' hands at the nape of their neck.

Papon and the Bollywood Connection: A Playback Powerhouse

Angaraag Mahanta, better known as Papon, is one of India’s most celebrated musicians. Hailing from Assam, Papon’s music is a soulful amalgamation of his cultural heritage and contemporary influences. Over the years, he has made a significant mark in Bollywood while remaining deeply rooted in his Assamese origins. This article explores Papon’s extraordinary journey, from his early days in Assam to becoming a household name in Indian music.

A Melodic Beginning in Assam

Born on November 24, 1975, in Nagaon, Assam, Papon grew up surrounded by music. His parents, Khagen Mahanta and Archana Mahanta, were iconic figures in Assamese folk music, often referred to as the “King and Queen of Assamese Folk.” Their influence was instrumental in shaping Papon’s musical sensibilities. From an early age, he was exposed to traditional folk tunes, bhajans, and classical compositions, which laid the foundation for his eclectic taste in music.

Papon’s initial training came from his parents, who instilled in him a deep appreciation for melody and rhythm. However, he did not restrict himself to one genre. Growing up, he explored diverse musical styles, which later helped him craft a unique sound that blends traditional and modern elements seamlessly.

Stepping into Bollywood

Papon’s Bollywood journey began with the song “Om Mantra” from the 2006 film Strings — Bound by Faith. While this marked his entry into the Hindi film industry, it wasn’t until 2011 that he gained widespread recognition with “Jiyein Kyun” from the movie Dum Maaro Dum. This hauntingly beautiful song showcased his emotive voice and established him as a singer to watch out for.

Subsequent hits such as “Moh Moh Ke Dhaage” (Dum Laga Ke Haisha), “Bulleya” (Sultan), and “Kaun Mera” (Special 26) further solidified his position in Bollywood. His ability to convey deep emotion through his singing struck a chord with audiences across the country. Whether it was romantic ballads, soulful melodies, or experimental tracks, Papon’s versatility made him a favorite among music directors.

Exploring Beyond Bollywood

While Bollywood brought him fame, Papon’s artistry extends far beyond film music. In 2007, he founded Papon and The East India Company, a folk-fusion band that blends traditional Assamese music with contemporary genres such as electronic, rock, and jazz. The band’s unique sound has resonated with audiences globally, earning accolades at music festivals in India and abroad.

Through this platform, Papon has brought Assamese music to the global stage, reimagining folk classics and introducing them to new audiences. Songs like “Boitha Maro” and “Bhaar Hobo Moi” are prime examples of his ability to infuse modern energy into traditional tunes without losing their essence.

Multilingual Mastery

One of Papon’s most remarkable qualities is his multilingual prowess. Fluent in Assamese, Hindi, Bengali, and more, Papon has performed in various languages, reflecting the linguistic diversity of India. This adaptability has allowed him to connect with audiences across regions, making his music universally appealing.

His Assamese tracks, including “Mukoli Bihu” and “Zubeen Zubeen”, remain beloved by regional fans, while his Hindi and Bengali songs have garnered national and international acclaim. Papon’s ability to seamlessly transition between languages and genres is a testament to his versatility as an artist.

Accolades and Recognition

Papon’s contributions to music have not gone unnoticed. His rendition of “Moh Moh Ke Dhaage” earned him several awards, including a Filmfare Award nomination. In addition to his Bollywood accolades, he has received numerous honors for his regional music and independent projects.

Despite his success, Papon remains grounded, often attributing his achievements to his Assamese roots. His humility and dedication to preserving his cultural heritage make him a role model for aspiring artists.

Challenges and Triumphs

Like any artist, Papon has faced his share of challenges. Balancing his Bollywood career with his passion for Assamese folk music has been no small feat. Additionally, the pressure to conform to mainstream expectations while staying true to his artistic vision is an ongoing struggle.

Yet, Papon has navigated these challenges with grace. His unwavering commitment to authenticity has earned him the respect of his peers and fans alike. By staying true to his roots while embracing change, Papon has carved a niche for himself in the competitive world of music.

A Legacy in the Making

Today, Papon is not just a singer but a cultural ambassador. Through his music, he has bridged the gap between tradition and modernity, introducing Assamese culture to the world while contributing to India’s rich musical tapestry. His journey from a small town in Assam to the glitz and glamour of Bollywood is a testament to his talent, hard work, and passion.

The Role of Dance in Indian Festivals and Celebrations

India is a country full of colors, cultures, and traditions. One of the most beautiful ways these traditions come to life is through dance. Dance has always played a big role in Indian festivals and celebrations. Whether it's a religious festival, a family event like a wedding, or a cultural celebration, dance is often at the heart of the gathering. It brings people together, tells stories, and expresses joy in ways that words sometimes cannot.

Let’s explore how dance enriches the spirit of Indian festivals and celebrations, highlighting different styles and their significance.

1. Dance and Festivals in India

India is known for its many festivals, which vary by region, religion, and community. Every festival is unique, but one thing they all have in common is the presence of dance. From the streets of rural villages to the big cities, dance is a key part of these joyful occasions.

Navratri and Garba/Dandiya Raas: Navratri is one of the most famous festivals where dance takes center stage. Celebrated primarily in Gujarat, Navratri involves the traditional Garba and Dandiya Raas dances. People of all ages come together in large groups to dance around a central lamp or statue of the Goddess Durga. These dances are not only a form of worship but also a social activity where communities bond and celebrate together. The synchronized movements, rhythmic claps, and energetic steps make Garba and Dandiya incredibly fun and joyful.

Bihu Dance in Assam: Bihu is the harvest festival of Assam, and it’s impossible to imagine the festival without the lively Bihu dance. Performed to the beat of traditional drums and folk songs, the dance reflects the energy and joy of the Assamese people during this time of celebration. The graceful, flowing movements of the dancers represent the connection between nature, harvest, and community.

Pongal and Kummi Dance in Tamil Nadu: In Tamil Nadu, the harvest festival Pongal is celebrated with the Kummi dance. Women form circles and dance together, clapping and singing folk songs. This dance is simple but powerful in its ability to bring people together, symbolizing unity and the blessings of a bountiful harvest.

Onam and Thiruvathira Kali in Kerala: Onam, the state festival of Kerala, is marked by several forms of dance, the most prominent being Thiruvathira Kali. Performed by women in traditional attire, this dance is graceful and rhythmic, representing feminine beauty and the spirit of the festival. Onam also includes Kathakali performances, which are elaborate and colorful, telling stories from ancient Indian epics.

2. Dance in Religious Celebrations

Many religious festivals in India also feature dance as a form of devotion. Dance becomes a way of expressing faith, gratitude, and joy in front of the gods and goddesses. These dances are often performed in temples, on streets during processions, or in homes as part of religious rituals.

Bharatanatyam and Classical Dances in Temple Festivals: Bharatanatyam, a classical dance from Tamil Nadu, is deeply rooted in devotion. It was originally performed in temples as a way of worshiping the deities. Today, Bharatanatyam, along with other classical dance forms like Kathak, Odissi, and Kuchipudi, continues to play a role in temple festivals across India. These dances tell stories from Hindu mythology and scriptures, bringing to life tales of gods and goddesses.

Chhau Dance during Durga Puja: In the eastern states of India, particularly in West Bengal, Jharkhand, and Odisha, Durga Puja is celebrated with the traditional Chhau dance. This folk dance involves vigorous movements and the use of masks to depict characters from Hindu mythology. The performers reenact scenes from the Ramayana and Mahabharata, honoring the goddess Durga and celebrating the victory of good over evil.

Kirtan and Bhangra during Sikh Festivals: In Sikh culture, dance is an important part of festivals like Baisakhi and Gurpurab. Bhangra, a lively and energetic folk dance from Punjab, is performed during these celebrations. The dance expresses the joy of the community, especially during Baisakhi, which marks the harvest season. Sikh festivals also feature Kirtan, a devotional form of singing and dance that takes place in gurdwaras (Sikh temples).

3. Dance and Weddings

In India, weddings are grand celebrations that often last for several days, and dance is an essential part of the festivities. Wedding dances are not just entertainment; they represent the joy, love, and union of two families coming together.

Sangeet Ceremony: The Sangeet is one of the most fun and exciting parts of Indian weddings. It’s a night where family and friends perform dances to celebrate the bride and groom. In many cases, choreographers are brought in to teach the families dances for this special event. If you're in Delhi, you can even find a wedding dance choreographer in Rajouri Garden, West Delhi, who can create stunning performances for your big day. Popular dance styles for Sangeet include Bollywood, Punjabi Bhangra, and contemporary dances.

Baraat and the Groom’s Dance: The groom’s procession, known as the Baraat, is another moment when dance becomes central to the celebration. Friends and family dance joyously in the streets as they accompany the groom to the wedding venue. The upbeat music and lively dancing represent the happiness and excitement of the occasion.

4. Bollywood Dance and Modern Celebrations

No discussion of dance in Indian celebrations is complete without mentioning Bollywood. Bollywood dance, inspired by the vibrant song-and-dance sequences of Hindi films, has become a beloved part of both traditional and modern celebrations. Whether it’s a festival, a wedding, or even a corporate event, Bollywood dance brings people together in a spirit of fun and excitement.

In places like West Delhi, you can join Bollywood dance classes in Rajouri Garden West Delhi, where you can learn the latest moves and styles that are perfect for any celebration. Whether you're preparing for a family function or just want to have fun, Bollywood dance classes are a great way to enjoy the spirit of Indian festivals.

Corporate Events: Dance is not only for religious or family events but also for modern celebrations like corporate parties and annual events. A corporate dance choreographer in Rajouri Garden, West Delhi, can help create exciting performances for office functions, bringing teams together and encouraging a spirit of unity and celebration.

5. Dance as a Bridge Between Tradition and Modernity

While India is known for its rich traditional dances, modern influences have also shaped the way people celebrate. Today, many festivals and events feature a mix of classical, folk, and contemporary dances. This blend of old and new reflects the evolving nature of Indian culture, where tradition and modernity coexist harmoniously.

For example, a Diwali celebration might begin with a classical dance performance and end with a lively Bollywood dance party. Similarly, at weddings, you might see a mix of traditional dances like Ghoomar or Lavani alongside modern performances choreographed to the latest Bollywood hits.

Conclusion

Dance is more than just entertainment in Indian festivals and celebrations. It’s a form of expression, a way of storytelling, and a way to bring people together. From traditional folk dances to energetic Bollywood numbers, dance plays a central role in keeping India’s rich cultural heritage alive. Whether it's the rhythmic steps of Garba during Navratri, the graceful moves of classical dances in temple festivals, or the fun-filled performances at weddings, dance is at the heart of every celebration.

In places like Rajouri Garden, West Delhi, you can experience the joy of dance firsthand by joining Bollywood dance classes, working with a corporate dance choreographer, or hiring a wedding dance choreographer to make your special event truly memorable. No matter the occasion, dance brings joy, unity, and a deeper connection to Indian culture and traditions.

Assam: My Adventure Through Wildlife, Temples, and Weaving Wonders

Hey everyone! Just got back from an incredible trip to Assam, and let me tell you, it was an absolute blast! This northeastern state of India completely surprised me with its diverse range of experiences. From spotting rhinos in the wild to getting blessed at ancient temples and learning about the art of silk weaving, Assam had something for everyone.

Rhinoceros Encounters in Kaziranga National Park

The crown jewel of my trip was definitely Kaziranga National Park. As a wildlife enthusiast, seeing a one-horned rhino in its natural habitat was a dream come true. My heart pounded with excitement as our jeep rumbled through the tall grasslands, finally spotting a majestic rhino grazing peacefully. The park was teeming with life – elephants emerged from the foliage, while playful deer frolicked in the distance. A jeep safari wasn't the only option – I even tried an elephant ride, which offered a unique perspective of the park's diverse ecosystem.

Spiritual Bliss at the Kamakhya Temple

Assam's rich culture is deeply rooted in spirituality, and a visit to the Kamakhya Temple in Guwahati was a truly humbling experience. Dedicated to the goddess Kamakhya, this ancient temple is one of the most revered Shakti Peethas in Hinduism. The vibrant atmosphere, filled with chanting devotees and the aroma of incense, transported me to another world. Witnessing the daily rituals and soaking in the temple's energy was a deeply moving experience.

A Step Back in Time: Sibsagar and Hajo

History buffs, like myself, will be blown away by Assam's fascinating past. The Sibsagar Sivadol, a massive Shiva temple built by the Ahom dynasty, left me speechless with its intricate stonework. Exploring the Talatal Ghar, an underground palace, offered a glimpse into the architectural ingenuity of this bygone era. Hajo, an ancient pilgrimage town, added another layer to the historical tapestry. The unique architecture of the Hayagriva Madhava Temple and the serenity of the Powa Mecca, a revered Muslim pilgrimage site, showcased the beautiful blend of religions in Assam.

Majuli: The Enchanting River Island

One of the most unexpected highlights of my trip was Majuli, the world's largest river island. Cycling through the lush green landscapes was a refreshing change of pace, and the vibrant Satra monasteries offered a window into Assamese culture. I was captivated by the traditional way of life on the island, where people live in harmony with nature.

Cruising Down the Mighty Brahmaputra

A trip to Assam wouldn't be complete without experiencing the mighty Brahmaputra River. Taking a river cruise was a relaxing way to soak in the beauty of the surrounding landscapes. Spotting playful dolphins breaking the surface of the water and watching the vibrant life along the riverbanks was pure bliss. For nature lovers, the Manas Biosphere Reserve offers a paradise for trekking and birdwatching, with its diverse ecosystems waiting to be explored.

A Celebration of Assamese Culture

My Assam adventure wouldn't have been complete without immersing myself in the local culture. The Bihu festival, a joyous celebration of harvest, was a whirlwind of energy. Energetic dance performances and the soulful melodies of Bihu songs filled the air, leaving me with a smile plastered on my face. Witnessing the art of Assamese silk weaving was another captivating experience. The skilled artisans work their magic, creating beautiful fabrics with intricate designs that are a true testament to their talent.

A Culinary Adventure Awaits

Assamese cuisine is a hidden gem, waiting to be discovered. From the tangy and flavorful Masor Tenga, a fish curry, to the comforting Khar, a dish made with lentils and vegetables, every bite was a burst of unique flavors. One of my favorite experiences was trying Jolpan, a traditional Assamese thali featuring an array of delectable dishes, each representing a different taste and texture.

Assam has truly captured my heart. From the thrill of spotting wildlife to the serenity of ancient temples and the beauty of traditional crafts, this incredible state has something to offer everyone. So, if you're looking for an adventure that's off the beaten path, Assam is definitely worth adding to your travel bucket list!

Image descriptions of 4 screenshots of text of the poem “We Sons of Bitches are Doing Fine” by Assamese poet Kazi Neel.

Text in images 1 and 2 reads:

We Sons of Bitches are Doing Fine

Kazi Neel

We make tiktok, memes,

dalgona coffee and chicken dry fry.

We sons of bitches are doing fine.

We write rain-poems, sing songs,

paint pictures and hold online Bihu;

curse the useless prime minister

at eight in the evening

and fuck at midnight and high noon.

We sons of bastards are doing fine.

We wait in line at liquor stores,

drunkenly establish communism,

and pimp out to capitalism

first thing in the morning.

We worthless bastards are doing fine.

Millions of bodies come home.

There’s blood on the highway,

blood on train wheels,

blood on pieces of bread.

We sons of pigs eat watermelon

and bleed tears on our screens.

We sons of bitches are doing fine.

We invite stars to Leftist events-

they decide if the starving

should or should not eat meat.

We priceless parasites are doing fine.

Nothing will happen to us.

If the world goes to hell, nothing will happen to us.

We will keep writing poems

and workers walking hundreds of miles

will be our profile pictures.

Find me a bigger opportunistic leech;

we sons of bitches are doing fine.

We read novels in silence, read poetry.

When this plague ends who but we

will write heartwarming literature.

We sons of hypocrites are doing fine.

We see humanity wallowing in mud

and nothing happens to us.

Nothing will happen to us.

We scumbags will keep doing fine.

We will keep rolling in meat and wine.

In this chaos we will keep posting

bleeding heart ballads.

We sons of bitches are doing fine.

Text in images 3 and 4 contains the poem in its original Assamese.

শুভ নববর্ষ! আশা করি আপনারা সবাই ভালো আছেন আর সুস্থ আছেন। আমি পরীক্ষা থাকার কারনে ব্লগগুলো আপডেট করতে পারিনি। আসলে, অ্যাপটাই ডিলেট করে দিয়েছিলাম lol। নববর্ষের জন্য আবার ইন্সটল করতে হলো, কারণ ল্যাপট��ে বাংলায় টাইপ করা কঠিন হা হা...

My day went quite fine. I texted my ex (we broke up last week... One of the reasons I wasn't in mood for any social interaction lol...) with the pretext of wishing her on Noboborsho hehe... (not that she celebrates it...) I asked her if we could at least remain friends and she agreed, so that went quite well... The morning was spent wishing and texting people 'শুভ নববর্ষের প্রীতি ও শুভেচ্ছা' and 'Have a blessed Good Friday', listened to some Bangla and Assamese ('cause Bihu) folk songs too. Had a debate with Mom on the Bengali language lol. Had a nice breakfast, lunch and snacks (The best part about New Year's is the food obviously). Was forced to study too though... Ahh damn these exams.

The afternoon was spent singing Tagore songs and reading Bangla poems with Dad. I also recorded that podcast episode (I haven't been able to update the podcast as frequently as I would have liked... Again, blame academics for that).

Overall, not a bad start to a new year.

Vibrant Fairs and Festivals of Assam

The northeastern state of Assam has always been home to a large number of fairs and festivals celebrated in a grand way every year. Such varied festivities stem from the presence of diverse beliefs from several tribes and races residing there. The most apparent observation you can have when you visit Assam during a festival is the energy and grandeur of the celebration. Assamese in large numbers, irrespective of their caste and religion, are seen to celebrate these festivals with a sense of togetherness and, of course, joy. 

Major festivals in Assam include Kati Bahu, Magh Bihu, Bohag Bihu, Ambubachi, Biswakarma Puja, Doljatra, Janmashtami, Rasa Puja, Sabha, Barpeta, Kamrup Bhatheli, Bhel Diya Festival, Me-Dum-Me-Phi, and many more (popular ones discussed below). These festivals are more than just celebratory but reflect the very lifestyle and tradition of the people of Assam. In fact, for a better understanding, these festivals can be classified into agricultural festivals, religious festivals, and folk festivals. So Assam tour during the right seasons will allow you to have an unforgettable festive experience unlike any other.

Bihu Festival

Among the various cultural festivals celebrated in Assam, Bihu is the most important of all and is widely known across India. Bihu festivals are also of three types: Bhogali Bihu, Rongali Bihu, and Kongali Bihu. Rongali Bihu, the agricultural festival of Assam, is held during the spring season. People at this time dress up in new clothes, there is dance and songs, and exotic dishes are prepared during the festival. Bhogali or Magh Bihu (January) symbolizes the end of the harvest season, and Kangali or Kati Bihu (October) celebrates the harvest season.

Me-Dum-Me-Phi

Me-Dum-Me-Phi is another important festival of Assam. 'Me' stands for worship, 'Dum' means the dead, and 'Phi' is God. The festival stems from the Tai Ahom faith that man is not reborn after death, and one important custom is dead body is not burnt but kept inside a box. The core of the festival is the worship of ancestors or the dead ones by the family members so that the deceased is elevated to the position of 'Phi' or God. Celebrated every year by the Ahom people on the 31st of January, the day is a public holiday in Assam.

Majuli Festival

Majuli festival is associated with the world's largest river island, Majuli. Celebrated on the banks of river Luit, the Majuli festival is held during the winter season (in November). You see artists and artisans from all over the state coming together to exhibit their handmade products. Traditional handicrafts and garments, locally made bamboo products, and so on are seen on display during the festival. The festival is a major attraction because it displays the culture and traditions of the region.

Dehing Patkai Festival

Organized at Lekhapani in the Tinsukia district of Assam, the Dehing Patkai Festival is an amalgamation of tribal fairs, golfing, adventure sports, tea heritage tours, and wildlife pleasure trips.

Besides, you have a food festival, cultural functions, and a craft fair for visitors.

The festival is a great opportunity for villagers to endorse their artisanship to tourists.

Kaziranga Elephant Festival

This is a unique yearly festival of Kaziranga held in Assam's famous Kaziranga National Park for the protection and conservation of Asiatic elephants. So, it aims to spread awareness about the need to preserve the elephants and prevent them from protection. The festival is, in fact, a joint initiative of the Tourism Depart and Forest Department of the Government of Assam. Every year since 2003, it has been celebrated in the month of February.  

During the festival, you can see a lively ambiance in the region. Many domesticated elephants are adorned extensively with attires and paints, and then they are paraded. You can witness and enjoy events such as elephant races, dances, games, and much more.

Ali Ai Ligang Festival

Celebrated during the spring season, Ali Ai Ligang Festival in Assam continues for five days. The Mishing tribe celebrates the festival to mark the onset of the New Year, for the tribe. Etymologically, the word 'Ali' means root, 'Ai' stands for fruit and 'Ligang' means sowing. In other words, the festival denotes harvest, and thus the sowing of paddy is started on this day ritually. You can see the tribal people in traditional attires paying respect to their ancient God, ' Donyi-Polo, ' for prosperity and harvest by offering eggs and fish during this festival.
