Today its 2nd day of
Rongali Bihu or Bohag Bihu festival here in
Assam. The people today prays to god in
Namghars (Community prayer halls)for
betterment of society, humanity & world as a whole. Its not necessary whatever is shown in media wearing of finery
Muga or Paat Silk cloth but the people in
general wear new cloths ladies as well as girls in villages wear
handwoven Mekhela Chadar (Two piece clothing) with
Gamocha (Hand loom woven towel)on their neck. In the evening Menfolk, Womenfolk & younger generation go around singing
Housori and Bihu song along with
Bihu dance with the rhyme to beating of basic instrument
