Advent of Bihu, the colorful festivity of Bohag month of April on 14th that is
followed ritually in each year in Assam could be felt virtually through online
flood of wishes where now even the elders are showered with respect in Assamese
traditional way through famous Whatsapp mobile mode in remote to urban areas.
But Bihu festivity in Assam is impossible to control though COVID-19 lockdown is observed ritually with minimal break down, youngsters could be
still seen on bikes zooming to woo any lady on empty road. Since colorful stage
lit by golden ladies with muga gold silk assembled with red gamusa, top and
bindu on forehead during Bohag Bihu could not be cherished for the first time
in Assamese history.
Spring in Assam, especially in the phase of Bohag month
that starts from April 14th is signified as mating moment between
youngsters with follow of Goru or Cow Bihu on Sankranti today on 13th
April that is to mark the end of Sot month by smearing mah and haldhi on cows
and giving them a special bath.
If in one house in village area a young lad’s creation of
instrumental vibe to invigorate the air of Bihu moment, makes female Bihu
dancers restless to come out and dance to the jovial tune at their yard. Since
the music of gogona, buffalo pipe or pepa and dhol can attract anyone out of
Assamese culture to relish the Bihu fever in Assam. COVID-19 has locked
everything in human world but not the souls of Bihu makers as still special
sweets are prepared and served to welcome the Bihu moment. It seems Bihu advent
in Assam is indomitable.
