Bihu Folk Dance Troupe
Bihu Folk Dance is one of the most vibrant and joyful traditional dance forms of Assam, deeply connected with the agricultural life and cultural identity of the region. It is performed during the Bihu festival, which marks the Assamese New Year and celebrates the arrival of spring and the beginning of the harvesting season. The dance reflects happiness, youth, love, and the close bond between nature and human life.
This folk dance is usually performed by young men and women in open fields, village courtyards, or cultural stages. The movements are energetic yet graceful, expressing emotions through rhythmic footwork, hand gestures, and coordinated body movements. The dancers wear traditional Assamese attire, where women are dressed in colorful mekhela chador and men wear dhoti, gamosa, and turbans, adding visual richness to the performance.
Bihu Folk Dance is not just a form of entertainment; it is a celebration of Assamese heritage and community spirit. It brings people together across generations and continues to be an important symbol of Assam’s cultural pride, keeping traditions alive in a modern world.
