BIHU:ORIGIN ,TRANSITION AND MODERNITY By Arup Saikia
India is land of festival. Culturally regional nationalism is main uniting thread of socially, politically diverse country like India. Bihu is national festival of entire Indian state of Assam.
Nobody knows when or how bihu was created ,but it is invariably confluence of three major cultures of Austro-Asiatic,Indo-Aryan and Tibeto-Burman.Later many immigrants from India and abroad including Muslims imbibe the Assamese culture and subscribe to flourish Bihu syncretizing with their own cultural elements and finally attained today's form.There is three different types of Bihu-Kati,Magh and Bohag celebrated in three agricultural period of life.
BIHU WORD:Deori people called Bihu as BISU(excessive joy). With historical evidence Bihu was carried by Deori, Chutiya and Kachari people from late twelve century in Sadiya based Chutiya Kingdom.But other Bodo kachari tribes like Tiwa,Rava,Mikir,Dimasa celebrate Bihu as Busu,Pisu,Busy Dima or Dumsi etc.But Bodo has uniquely address Bihu as Baisagu.Later simplified and partially sanskritised name popularly became Bihu.
RELIGIOUS ORIGIN OF BIHU: Bihu has been celebrated by various tribes of Bodo-kachari origin since ancient times. But as stated above mediaeval Bihu is started from Sadiya Kingdom led by Chutiya.Copperplate inscription was found in Lakhimpur district (Erstwhile part of chutiya empire). Where, clearly mentioned,king Lakshminarayan on 1401AD granted land to Brahmins on auspicious occasion of Bihu.
Bihu performance started from first week of Assamese month CHOT to last intervening night until start of month BOHAG.On the floors of THAAN(temples) dedicated to KECHAI-KHATI,DIKKARAVASINI or KOLIMOTI.Youngsters danced throughout night until last intervening night of CHOT.Being performed in night, this is called Rati(night) bihu. Very vigorous dancing postures of dancers believed to be attributes of Goddess.This is considered as indication of Goddess (Kolimoti)descended from heaven. Urukuwa or uruka start after perceived arrival of Goddess Kolimoti or Kechai-khati on earth in the end of month chot.Urukuwa or uruka is Sadiya-Kachari term means to end.
Next day of Uruka is Goru(cattle)bihu.On night of Goru bihu young people again danced in temples sacrificing animals to Deity.Then young people in folk visited village households to perform bihu which is called HUSORI.The tradition of starting HUSORI from temples by Sadiya-Kachari and other Tibet-Burma people gradually replaced by NAMGHAR(Assamese prayer house)for Arayan influence.Human sacrifices were also done on altar of Sadiya.But on occasion of Bihu it's clearly not known.
THEME OF BIHU:
Bohag or Rongali bihu is originally dance-centric natural platform for youngsters to express love and joy. First lyrics of bihu were called 'Bonoriya Geet 'i.e wild song of young hearts longing for lovers. 'Bonoriya Geet'(wild song)or bihu rooted its origin in paddy fields, jungle while grazing cattle far away from human settlements- suitable place to express suppressed longing and craving through these songs. Therefore songs have erotic undertone.
BIHU AND BHAKTI MOVEMENT:
During bhakti (devotion)or neo vaishnavite movement from 15th century onwards under Assamese polymath,social reformer Saint Sankerdeva and teachings of his newly created religion EK SARAN(Motto-one supreme soul in universe)more energetically synthesized Assamese society breaking strict age old boundaries of caste or class system.
Although there was no direct influence on bihu for social renaissance-Sankerdeva has initiated by preaching his revolutionary religion (EK SARAN or devotional movement).But way and outlook of bihu perfomance had been changed dramatically. Some spiritually refined words and name of some hindu Gods taken in HUSORI(one kind of male bihu).Praying and blessing in the name of hindu Gods in Husori is effect of Bhakti movement.
ROYAL RECOGNITION OF BIHU :
During heyday of Ahom dynasty on 1696 Ahom monarch Rudra Singha patronized bihu for the first time by inviting or permitting to perform in courtyard of Ranghar (house of joy).Immediately once considered a low key festival celebrated by few in riverbank or cultivation field,became widespread festival embraced by all people traversing different ethnic groups, caste and communities. Consequently a new form of Assamese cultural nationalism had emerged.Songs are changed from erotic or sensuous to panergyric type i.e-song sung praising king and his deeds.
PARTICIPATION OF FEMALE:
Exact date isn't known when male and female allowed to dance together, which once considered social taboo.It's probably after royal recognition under Ahom monarchy,both sexes were started to participate together in bihu.
BIHU UNDER BRITISH RULE:As a result of treaty of yandaboo(1826)signed between British and Burma, British entered and began to rule Assam. Before advent of British,Assam was politically ruled by two administration-one by Ahom dynasty in almost upper Assam upto Nowgong and lower Assam from Nowgong onwards by koch kingdom .British virtually unified Assam and cultural exchange began between two prior disbanded state.Eventually popularity of bihu spread to lower Asssm also and incarnated as festival of whole Assam.
However in nineteenth century some new english educated Assamese intelligentsia like Haliram Dhekial Phukan, Anandaram Dhekial Phukan, Gunabhiram Baruah, Kamalakanta Bhattacharya demoralized Bihu as dance of vulgar and barbarian. But by grace of cultural maestro Jyoti prasad Agarwala, literateur Lakshminath Bezbaruah, Poet Raghunat Choudhury, social worker Radha Govinda Baruah, Bihu had been widely promoted.
TYPES OF BOHAG BIHU:The most popular unique show of Bohag bihu is dance ,variably associated with different kind of bihu.
(I)HUSORI=Performed on courtyard of villagers started in 1896 in the courtyard of Ranghar (house of joy).Previously male only troupe, but now females also participate.
(II)MUKOLI BIHU =Performed in open space, boys and girls mingling together.
(III)JENG BIHU/RATI BIHU=Traditionally it is direct counterpart of men only HUSORI. Performed by women folk only.In JENG bihu no musical instrument is used.RATI Bihu is supposed to celebrate at night away from men's eye symbolizing women liberation. Repertoire is the same of JENG bihu.
(IV)GOS TOLOR BIHU=Bihu under a banyan or big tree.It is previous version of MUKOLI bihu.
(V)FAAT BIHU =Prevalent modern postures of Bihu dance imitated from Faat bihu.Celebrated in Mohguli Chapori near Charikoriya river of Dhakuwakhana. It is one of the oldest Bihu of Assam.Faat means trading place or torn out. It's believed that traders from different places assembled there for bihu celebration.Moreover sections of people dispersed from Sadiya for Ahom-Chutiya conflict believed to be main motivational force behind this festival.For uncontrolled excitement and gaieties performers clothes were torn into strips and musical instruments were cracked. So this Bihu may be named as FAAT Bihu.
DIFFERENT DANCE AND ORCHESTRA
(I)KHUPAT DHORA DANCE =Female bihu dancers dance swaying to orchestra of Dhol(drum),Tal(cymbals) Hutuli(made from mud),flute, Toka and Gogona(both are made of bamboo).This dance posture is to place dancers' hands at the nape of their neck.
(II)TAKURI GHURA NACH=Dancing very speedily and pirouetting at the same place,dancers partially became invisible.
(III)POKHILA URADI NACH=Dancing like butterfly. Hands move like wings of a butterfly.
DIFFERENT FOOTSTEPS IN DANCE :
(I)MOKORA BULONI=Dancers move their feet like a spider.
(II)PORUA BULONI=The feet motion of a dancer is like an ant,goes in row to particular direction.
PRESENT BIHU =Bihu survives since time immemorial through many socio-cultural upheavals changing its form as time demands. Starting from farmland ,Bihu reached digital world via stage, will remain alive as long as Assamese live.

Bihu.
Bihu is a set of three important Assamese festivals in the Indian state of Assam—Rongali or Bohag Bihu observed in April, Kongali or Kati Bihu observed in October, and Bhogali or Magh Bihu observed in January. The Rongali Bihu is the most important of the three, celebrating spring festival. The Bhogali Bihu or the Magh Bihu is a harvest festival, with community feasts. The Kongali Bihu or the Kati Bihu is the sombre, thrifty one reflecting a season of short supplies and is an animistic festival.

The festival is celebrated three times a year: Rongali or Bohag Bihu in mid-April, Kongali or Kati Bihu in mid-October, and Bhogali or Magh Bihu in mid-January.
Rongali Bihu, also known as Bohag Bihu, is the most important of the three Bihu festivals and is celebrated with great enthusiasm and fervor. The festival typically lasts for seven days and involves various traditional rituals, cultural programs, and feasting.
During Rongali Bihu, people clean and decorate their homes, wear new clothes, and prepare traditional delicacies such as pitha (rice cakes), laru (sweet balls made of rice flour), and fish curry. They also perform traditional folk dances such as the Bihu dance, which is performed by both men and women in groups.
The festival of Bihu 2023 is a time of joy and celebration, and people come together to share their happiness and strengthen their bonds. It is a significant cultural event in Assam and is celebrated by people from all walks of life, irrespective of their caste, religion, or creed.
Three Types of Bihu

Rongali or Bohag Bihu: It is the most popular and significant of the three Bihu festivals and is celebrated in mid-April. Rongali Bihu marks the onset of the Assamese New Year and the arrival of spring. It is a seven-day festival that is celebrated with great enthusiasm and involves traditional rituals, cultural programs, and feasting.
Kongali or Kati Bihu: It is celebrated in mid-October, which is the time when the fields are empty as the paddy is not yet ripe. This festival is more somber and subdued compared to Rongali Bihu and is focused on prayers and rituals to seek blessings for a good harvest.
Bhogali or Magh Bihu: It is celebrated in mid-January, which is the time when the harvest is over, and the granaries are full. This festival is also known as the festival of feasting, and people prepare traditional delicacies, such as rice cakes, sweets, and meat dishes. The festival is also marked by bonfires and traditional games and sports.

People also build bonfires and celebrate around them with singing, dancing, and playing traditional games and sports.

Magh Bihu is a significant cultural event in Assam, and people celebrate it with great enthusiasm and joy. The festival brings people together, regardless of their caste, religion, or creed, and strengthens their bonds of friendship and community.
Kati Bihu
Kati Bihu, also known as Kangali Bihu, is one of the three Bihu festivals celebrated in the Indian state of Assam. It falls in mid-October, which is the time when the paddy fields are empty, as the crops are not yet ready for harvest.
Unlike the other two Bihu festivals, Kati Bihu is more somber and subdued, and it is mainly a festival of prayers and rituals. People offer prayers to the gods and seek blessings for a good harvest season. They also light lamps and candles to mark the end of the dark period and the beginning of the light period.
During Kati Bihu, people also perform traditional rituals such as Akhri, which involves sowing of different seeds like mustard, lentils, and sesame in small earthen pots. The pots are kept in a corner of the house and watered every day. The sprouts are taken out on the day of Bhogali Bihu and offered to the gods.
Kati Bihu is an essential festival for the farmers in Assam, as it is the time when they prepare for the upcoming harvest season. The festival is celebrated with simplicity and devotion, and it brings people together to pray for the well-being of their families and communities.
Assamese New Year
The Assamese New Year, also known as Rongali Bihu, is celebrated in mid-April in the Indian state of Assam. It marks the onset of the spring season and the beginning of the agricultural year.
The festival is celebrated for seven days and involves various traditional rituals, cultural programs, and feasting. People clean and decorate their homes, wear new clothes, and prepare traditional delicacies such as pitha (rice cakes), laru (sweet balls made of rice flour), and fish curry.
Rongali Bihu is also a time for traditional folk dances such as the Bihu dance, which is performed by both men and women in groups. People also play traditional musical instruments such as the dhol, pepa, and taal.
The Assamese New Year is a time of joy and celebration, and people come together to share their happiness and strengthen their bonds. It is an essential cultural event in Assam, and people from all walks of life, irrespective of their caste, religion, or creed, celebrate it with great enthusiasm and joy.

Vibrant Fairs and Festivals of Assam
The northeastern state of Assam has always been home to a large number of fairs and festivals celebrated in a grand way every year. Such varied festivities stem from the presence of diverse beliefs from several tribes and races residing there. The most apparent observation you can have when you visit Assam during a festival is the energy and grandeur of the celebration. Assamese in large numbers, irrespective of their caste and religion, are seen to celebrate these festivals with a sense of togetherness and, of course, joy.
Major festivals in Assam include Kati Bahu, Magh Bihu, Bohag Bihu, Ambubachi, Biswakarma Puja, Doljatra, Janmashtami, Rasa Puja, Sabha, Barpeta, Kamrup Bhatheli, Bhel Diya Festival, Me-Dum-Me-Phi, and many more (popular ones discussed below). These festivals are more than just celebratory but reflect the very lifestyle and tradition of the people of Assam. In fact, for a better understanding, these festivals can be classified into agricultural festivals, religious festivals, and folk festivals. So Assam tour during the right seasons will allow you to have an unforgettable festive experience unlike any other.
Bihu Festival
Among the various cultural festivals celebrated in Assam, Bihu is the most important of all and is widely known across India. Bihu festivals are also of three types: Bhogali Bihu, Rongali Bihu, and Kongali Bihu. Rongali Bihu, the agricultural festival of Assam, is held during the spring season. People at this time dress up in new clothes, there is dance and songs, and exotic dishes are prepared during the festival. Bhogali or Magh Bihu (January) symbolizes the end of the harvest season, and Kangali or Kati Bihu (October) celebrates the harvest season.
Me-Dum-Me-Phi
Me-Dum-Me-Phi is another important festival of Assam. 'Me' stands for worship, 'Dum' means the dead, and 'Phi' is God. The festival stems from the Tai Ahom faith that man is not reborn after death, and one important custom is dead body is not burnt but kept inside a box. The core of the festival is the worship of ancestors or the dead ones by the family members so that the deceased is elevated to the position of 'Phi' or God. Celebrated every year by the Ahom people on the 31st of January, the day is a public holiday in Assam.
Majuli Festival
Majuli festival is associated with the world's largest river island, Majuli. Celebrated on the banks of river Luit, the Majuli festival is held during the winter season (in November). You see artists and artisans from all over the state coming together to exhibit their handmade products. Traditional handicrafts and garments, locally made bamboo products, and so on are seen on display during the festival. The festival is a major attraction because it displays the culture and traditions of the region.
Dehing Patkai Festival
Organized at Lekhapani in the Tinsukia district of Assam, the Dehing Patkai Festival is an amalgamation of tribal fairs, golfing, adventure sports, tea heritage tours, and wildlife pleasure trips. Named after the famous Patkai range and the Dehing River, Dehing Patkai Festival helps in boosting of tourism in the state. During the festival, visitors can take elephant rides and enjoy the scenic beauty of the region. Guests can also enjoy trips to the tea gardens. Besides, you have a food festival, cultural functions, and a craft fair for visitors. Tourists can take pleasure in a range of adventure sports on the dotted islands and banks of the river Brahmaputra. The festival is a great opportunity for villagers to endorse their artisanship to tourists.
Kaziranga Elephant Festival
This is a unique yearly festival of Kaziranga held in Assam's famous Kaziranga National Park for the protection and conservation of Asiatic elephants. So, it aims to spread awareness about the need to preserve the elephants and prevent them from protection. The festival is, in fact, a joint initiative of the Tourism Depart and Forest Department of the Government of Assam. Every year since 2003, it has been celebrated in the month of February.
During the festival, you can see a lively ambiance in the region. Many domesticated elephants are adorned extensively with attires and paints, and then they are paraded. You can witness and enjoy events such as elephant races, dances, games, and much more.
Ali Ai Ligang Festival
Celebrated during the spring season, Ali Ai Ligang Festival in Assam continues for five days. The Mishing tribe celebrates the festival to mark the onset of the New Year, for the tribe. Etymologically, the word 'Ali' means root, 'Ai' stands for fruit and 'Ligang' means sowing. In other words, the festival denotes harvest, and thus the sowing of paddy is started on this day ritually. You can see the tribal people in traditional attires paying respect to their ancient God, ' Donyi-Polo, ' for prosperity and harvest by offering eggs and fish during this festival.

Bihu.
Bihu is a set of three important Assamese festivals in the Indian state of Assam—Rongali or Bohag Bihu observed in April, Kongali or Kati Bihu observed in October, and Bhogali or Magh Bihu observed in January. The Rongali Bihu is the most important of the three, celebrating spring festival. The Bhogali Bihu or the Magh Bihu is a harvest festival, with community feasts. The Kongali Bihu or the Kati Bihu is the sombre, thrifty one reflecting a season of short supplies and is an animistic festival.
