If you’re one of those who have been planning a trip to Assam to learn more about its music and dance forms but haven’t been able to due to financial or time constraints, you should take a short trip to Goregaon today to catch a glimpse of this very culture. College students and children of the community based in Mumbai will get together to perform at the five hour-long cultural programme and perform traditional dances and songs to usher in Rongali Bihu, the Assamese New Year.

Folk dancers perform the Bihu dance at Surajkund in February this year. Pic/ Rajeev Tyagi
