Bihu is celebrated three times in a year in Assam. The month of April brings colour to
this fertile land. Orchids hang from trees, the creeper bhebel bursts into flowers and other
seasonal flowers grow wild in the countryside. This Bihu- called the Rongali Bihu- is the
most festive of all the Bihus. Women present gamochas (cloth) to their sons, brothers,
father and husband. Tamul (betel-nut) is offered to 'Bihu Dals' that visit and dance
wherever they are invited. The musical instruments- dhol, pepa (horn) gagana are used to
sing devotional songs.
Kati Bihu, the October Bihu, is also called the Kangali Bihu. It is celebrated with
prayer and mediation. The tulsi is planted and the seeds are sown in the fields for the
paddy crop and people pray by lighting oil lamps in the paddy field. Women pray for their
home, family, livestock, health, wealth and strength.
In January, Magh Bihu is celebrated with eating. A community feast is held, fights
between buffaloes, cock and animals are arranged. People dance around bonfires. Women
cook and serve rice-based foods. The rice harvest is gathered and the granaries are full.
