Assamese New Year

Assamese New Year

Assam is a northeastern state of India which is known for its fertile land and vast expanses of tea gardens.

Cultivation is the main vocation of the natives of Assam and therefore, their New Year celebration coincides with the beginning of the harvest season.

Like the many celebrations of India, Assamese New Year is also observed with great fervor.

Although the people of Assam are known for their simple lifestyle, New Year is celebrated with great pomp and show. The celebration is called Bohag Bihu, named after the first month of the Assamese calendar and is the biggest non-religious festival of the state.

Apart from Bohag Bihu, the other major Bihu festivals of the state are:

Magh Bihu or Bhogali Bihu in January
Kati Bihu or Kongali Bihu celebrated during October and November
As per the Gregorian calendar, Bohag Bihu is observed during the month of April and is celebrated with great enthusiasm and abundance. The etymology of the word Bihu relates it to the Dimasa Kachari language which was spoken by the native Dimasa Kachari tribe of the region. They used to offer the first crop of the harvest to their worshipping God, Brai Shibrai as a tradition. In the language ‘bi’ means to ask and ‘shu’ means peace. In a word, they asked for peace and prosperity from their supreme God.
