Baishagu Festival

Pomp and enthusiasm grip the Bodo people in Assam when spring arrives in the north eastern state. Tender leaves in the trees, sound of gurgling brooks and chirping of cuckoos transforms the state into a paradise on the planet. These colourful tribal people find it an occasion to showcase their rich tradition and culture. The much vaunted one is the Baishagu festival which marks the beginning of the cultivation time like the Rongali Bihu for the non Bodo people and the Baishakhi for the people in Punjab in mid April.
