The Bihu celebrations in the last two years have been a muted affair due to the pandemic. This time, however, the government has allowed celebrations without any restriction.
The sound of dhol and pepa - a traditional musical instrument - is in the air in Assam as the state is ready to celebrate its biggest festival, Rongali Bihu, marking the Assamese New Year, starting from tomorrow.
The Bihu celebrations in the last two years have been a muted affair due to the pandemic. This time, however, the government has allowed celebrations without any restriction.
The state has reported only a single Covid case in the last two weeks.
The week-long festival will be celebrated with music, dance, and new clothes but price rise has also been a big worry in the state markets.
