The well-known harvest festival of Assam, known as Bihu, is observed three times a year: Rongali or Bohag Bihu in April, Kongali or Kati Bihu in October, and Bhogali or Magh Bihu in the middle of January. The term "bhog" in Bhogali means "eating," hence communal meals take on a lot of significance on this day. On the last day of the Assamese calendar month of "pooh," the Magh Bihu celebrations begin. Some academics claim that the history of Bihu began in the distant past (3500 BC), when people sacrificed fire to improve their harvest. According to legend, the event dates back to the period of the Dimasa Kacharis, an agricultural tribe that existed thousands of years ago in the northeastern region of the earth.
