Magh Bihu, an auspicious harvest festival, is celebrated in Assam every year.
Magh Bihu falls in the local month of ‘Magh’ during mid-January. It is also called ‘Bhogali Bihu’ as it is celebrated with community feasts after the annual harvest takes place.
The highlight of this festival is the food, which is made from the abundance of grains after the harvest.
