As Rongali Bihu approaches, Guwahati is abuzz with excitement, gearing up for grand celebrations featuring traditional Bihu dance performances and dhol-playing workshops. Various cultural organizations and community groups have come together to preserve and promote Assam’s rich heritage, organizing interactive sessions, training workshops, and public performances across the city.

Enthusiasts of all ages are participating in Bihu dance workshops, learning the rhythmic steps that symbolize joy, unity, and the spirit of Assamese culture. Meanwhile, dhol-playing sessions are being held to teach the intricate beats of this traditional drum, which is integral to Bihu music and celebrations.

Many city parks, cultural centers, and educational institutions have turned into practice arenas where performers fine-tune their skills ahead of the grand festivities.

In addition to workshops, markets across Guwahati are bustling with activity as people shop for traditional attire, gamusas (handwoven cloth), and festive delicacies like pithas (rice cakes) and doi-sira (curd and flattened rice).

With preparations in full swing, the city is set to witness a vibrant and culturally rich Rongali Bihu, bringing communities together in a joyous celebration of Assamese traditions.
