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.
  3. Majuli Festival: Celebrated on the world’s largest river island, this festival showcases traditional music, dance, and crafts, serving as a vibrant platform for preserving Assam’s artistic legacy.
  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.
  5. Dehing Patkai Festival: Held in January, this festival celebrates Assam’s natural splendour and cultural diversity through adventure sports, cultural shows, craft exhibitions, and traditional food experiences.
