Bushu festival
Bushu, the name of a much vaunted festival of the Dimasa Kacharis in Assam is no less an occasion for this tribe to showcase their rich culture and tradition atop the North Cachar Hills along with some areas in Hojai, Karbi Anglong districts in Assam. They are apart from some others in Dimapur district of Nagaland. Literally, “Bi” means pray while “Shu” stands for asking for peace. The festival of joy and merriment marks the end of the jhum cultivation. Moreover, it is an initiative to keep alive their traditional food, sports, culture.
