Guwahati, Apr 15 (PTI) Mellifluous voice of the cuckoo, lilting Bihu songs and enchanting notes of flutes and buffalo horns heralded the spring festival of Rongali Bihu as Assam welcomed the new year with traditional gaiety today.
Replacing the strident cacophonous campaigning for the assembly elections that ended on April 11, the joyous Bihu songs with lyrics of youthful love played to the background as young men and women danced merrily.
Bihu pandals were seen at many places where cultural programmes will be held throughout the Assamese Bohag month.
Beginning with Goru Bihu yesterday when the cattle of the household were given a ceremonial bath at the village river or tank, this agrarian festival marks the new year today for the state.
