Assamese Bihu is one of Assam's most prominent cultural events, commemorating the changing of the seasons. It primarily serves the state's agrarian culture and lifestyle, and it marks the start of the Assamese New Year and harvest season. All three varieties of Bihu are observed at various times of the year. Rongali or Bohag Bihu is celebrated in April, Kongali or Kati Bihu in October, and Bhogali or Magh Bihu in January.
Pitha (rice cake) and larus (traditional rice and coconut dish) are cooked for the occasion. Chuje, Nam-Lao by Tai-Ahom, Aapong by Mising tribe, and Jolpan are among the traditional beverages prepared and enjoyed among family and friends. Chot, Kutum, Mela, Raati, Goru, Manuh, and Chera are the seven phases of the seven-day celebration. On April 15, gorubihu, or cow bihu, is held, during which the cows are cleaned and venerated. On the 16th of April, the New Year's Day, manuh (human) bihu is observed, with individuals dressed in new attire. People do traditional Bihu dance and sing Bihu geet, or Bihu folk music.
