What is Magh Bihu?
Magh Bihu, also called Bhogali Bihu, is the harvest festival of Assam in northeast India, celebrated in mid-January when the granaries are full. On the night before, called Uruka, families and friends build temporary huts called bhelaghar from bamboo and straw and share a great feast. At dawn they burn the meji, a tall bonfire, offering prayers for the year ahead, and the days are filled with rice cakes called pitha, traditional games and buffalo fights in some areas.
