Bihu : ( January / February )
Bhogali
Bihu is the Assamese harvest festival, which is celebrated to mark
the end of the winter paddy harvest. On the night before the
festival, people fast and pray, and thatched pavilions are put up
around the countryside. As a sign of the festival having begun,
the pavilions are set on fire at dawn. Bull fights and
celebrations mark the day.
