English: Cycling Troubadours going for Bihu.
This photograph beautifully captures the spirit of Bohag Bihu, Assam’s most vibrant festival, as a traditional Bihu dance team travels through the rural landscape of Chokoli Bhoria Village, Tengakhat in Dibrugarh District, Assam. Dressed in exquisite Assamese attire, the male performers ride bicycles while the female dancers gracefully sit on the front bars, holding traditional musical instruments such as the dhol, pepa, and taal. In the Assamese countryside, Bihu dance teams traditionally move from one village to another during the month of Bohag (April) to perform and celebrate the arrival of spring. Bicycles, being the most convenient and accessible mode of transport in rural Assam, play a crucial role in this cultural journey, carrying the essence of festivity, music, and dance across villages. This image not only showcases the rich heritage of Assam but also highlights the deep connection between tradition and everyday rural life, where simplicity and celebration go hand in hand.
