Bhogali Bihu - the harvest festival of the Assamese

Today is the first day of "Bhogali Bihu" or "Magh Bihu" called URUKA!

It is the time of paying obeisance to the Gods for a bountiful harvest. Marked by fun and feasting in open harvested fields and near river banks, the festivities really starts rolling from the evening and carries on the whole night through!

For a  more detailed write on "Bhogali Bihu" or "Magh Bihu" , please read my post of 3rd January 2014, titled - "The Unifying spirit of Assam - Bihu".

Have fun!
