Assamese long legacy celebration Kati Bihu today, Assam Governor Lakshman Prasad Acharya has extended wishes to Assam people by elaborating the importance of this precious agricultural occasion.
Acharya stated, “Since Assam has an agrarian culture and the majority of the people of the state are dependent on agriculture, celebration of this bihu holds immense importance. Hope ‘Akash Bonti’, the auspicious lamp given in the fields, consigns the pests and insects and helps in giving good yields. Moreover, the earthen lamp lit in front of the Tulsi plant as a part of this bihu celebration reiterates our inherent connections with the auspicious Tulsi plant.”
