Bihu // Dhol

Bihu is a traditional Assamese festival celebrating the harvest season and rural life, marked by vibrant music, dance, and cultural rituals. The dhol is a cylindrical drum that plays a central role in Bihu festivities, providing energetic rhythmic beats that accompany singing and dancing. Made from wood and animal hide, the dhol produces loud, resonant sounds essential for creating the lively atmosphere of Bihu. Together, Bihu and the dhol reflect Assam’s cultural identity, emphasizing community, tradition, and seasonal abundance through music and dance.
