ART AND CULTURE - April 2023

Apr 2023

Apr 10, 2023

11,000 artistes in one venue: Assam set to attempt a world-record Bihu performance

  • According to Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, the aim is to "organise the largest Bihu dance performance at a single venue and make it to the Guinness Book of World Records in the folk-dance category".
  • Like many girls across Assam, 17-year-old Priyakhi Sarma has been performing the Bihu naas (dance) since she was a child. As a teenager, dancing at Bihu functions at different locations in Guwahati was a regular fixture of every Rongali Bihu for her. But as the festival approaches this year, she is gearing up for something far larger in scale: she is one of more than 11,000 artistes from the state who will perform together next week in an attempt to set a world record.
  • The Bihu naas is a defining feature of Rongali Bihu, or Bohag Bihu, which rings in the Assamese new year. On April 14, the beginning of the festival, the Assam government has planned a spectacle around the folk dance: 11,140 artistes from all districts of the state will perform together at Guwahati's Sarusajai Stadium in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
