Hundreds of people gathered in Guwahati to celebrate Rongali Bihu, the most popular festival of Assam.
Women clad in their traditional Bihu attires along with men wearing their Gamochas swayed to folk tunes to welcome the New Year.
It is the time when farmers sow new seeds and offer prayers for a prosperous year ahead.
Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi and Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Youth Affairs and Sports Sarbananda Sonowal also took part in the event.
Bihu is a set of three important Assamese festivals in the Indian state of Assam[4]—Rongali or Bohag Bihu observed in April, Kongali or Kati Bihu observed in October, and Bhogali or Magh Bihu observed in January.[5] The Rongali Bihu is the most important of the three, celebrating spring festival. The Bhogali Bihu or the Magh Bihu is a harvest festival, with community feasts. The Kongali Bihu or the Kati Bihu is the sombre, thrifty one reflecting a season of short supplies and is an animistic festival.
