BIHU FESTIVAL. The main Bihu Festival is grandly celebrated in Assam around mid-April. This festival is celebrated in the spring season with an intention to spread happiness all around. This also marks the arrival of seeding season.
The Bihu Festival involves Bihu folk dance and songs. Bihu is said to be Assam's national festivals and are considered as a very improtant festival of Assam. The Bihus are celebrated by all the Assamese, irrespective of creed, caste, religion, belief and faith. The people use different instruments during the Bihu Festival called as dhol (drum), toka, xutuli, taal, gogona, pepa (made with buffalo horns) and baanhi (also called as a flute). PATETI FESTIVAL. The Parsis came to India so they could maintain their culture and way of life. This meant that they also brought along the Shenshai calendar. According to this calendar the new year falls sometime in August and is known as Pateti or Parsi New Year.
Pateti is actually new-year’s eve and a day on which people are required to think about all the good and bad things that have happened in their lives during that year. They then reaffirm a promise to live their lives through the tenets of Zoroastrianism- right thoughts, right words, and right action.
Over the years Pateti has become a single-day celebration that is celebrated on new-year’s day itself. Parsis visit the Agiari (fire temple) and offer prayers. They burn sandalwood in their houses and decorate their houses with rangoli.
Pateti is a time for feasting in Parsi households since people visit friends and family and are usually greeted with something to eat. Breakfast usually begins with ravo (suji prepared with milk and sugar) or sev (vermicelli cooked in a sugar syrup and served with raisins and almonds). For lunch there is usually rice pulao, sali boti (a mutton gravy) and pathra-ni-machchi (fish prepared in banana leaves). And then there’s always some sutarfeni or jalebi to finish the meal
