Bhogali Bihu is an Assamese festival celebrated during the harvest time every year. This festival is also called as the Magh Bihu and is celebrated in January. This festival denotes the end of the winter paddy harvest. The celebrations start a day before the festival actually begins. The earlier night, the religious Assamese fast and pray. Thatched pavilions are put up all around the countryside.

The very next dawn witnesses the commencement of the festival. To denote that the festival has begun, the pavilions are set on fire. The whole day is celebrated in a pompous manner with bullfights attracting huge crowds. The bullfights are also accompanied by birdfights. Bihu is celebrated the rest of the day with dance and music. This becomes a major part of entertainment in the festival. The dance is a distinct one and is a special attraction as it is mainly performed by young boys and girls.

All the people celebrate the festival in an equally joyous mood. They tend to forget their caste, creed, religion and even superstitious faiths and beliefs.
