Magh Bihu in January celebrates the harvest with community bonfires and shared meals. Kati Bihu in October centres around rituals and prayers for prosperous fields.
  2. Ambubachi Festival: Held at Guwahati’s Kamakhya Temple, this four-day festival honours Goddess Kamakhya and symbolises the fertility of the land.

  4. Baishagu Festival: Celebrated by the Bodo Kacharis to welcome the Assamese New Year, Baishagu includes rituals like cow worship, community prayers, and the graceful Bagurumba dance — all rooted in gratitude to nature.
