As the hues of spring adorn nature and splashes of color are everywhere, Spring Festivals are celebrated in different parts of India with different names. In Assam, it is known as Rongali Bihu or Bohag Bihu.

Royal Global School celebrated Rongali Bihu with enthusiastic zeal. The school came alive as students and faculty members from across the grades were dressed in their traditional finery, presenting a sight to behold.

The celebration began with a skit in which students from grades 6 to 8 informed the gathering about the significance of Bohag Bihu and how it is celebrated, including the delicacies that are an integral part of the Bihu celebrations.

The audience was also educated about the varied types of Bihu. The festival is not limited to goru bihu (cattle festival) and manuh bihu (human festival) but also includes seven other types of bihu, known as saat bihu. Each type of bihu is unique and holds significant cultural and traditional value in the Assamese community. As the festive season approaches, the excitement in the air is palpable, and the preparations for saat bihu begin. From traditional delicacies to colorful attire, everything is a part of this grand celebration.

The stage came alive as students from grades 4 to 12 danced to the beats of the Dhol, Pepa, and the Gogona. The breathtaking moves of the Bihu dancers captivated, enchanted, mesmerized, and enthralled the students.

The special assembly concluded with an address by the school’s principal, Dr. Dillip Kumar Panda. He appreciated the students’ hard work and, to the delight of all, addressed the students in Assamese.

The cherry on top was an impromptu dance by the faculty members of the school.

Overall, it was a lovely assembly that set the mood for the festivities that have gripped the Assamese people!
