Which of the following Indian states is famous for celebrating Bihu, a harvest festival?
Assam
Bihu is the most important festival of Assam and is closely tied to the agricultural calendar of the Assamese people.
It is celebrated three times a year: Rongali or Bohag Bihu (mid-April, Assamese New Year and sowing season), Kongali or Kati Bihu (October, when the crop is growing) and Bhogali or Magh Bihu (January, after the harvest, marked by feasts and community bonfires called Meji).
The other states have their own signature festivals: Odisha celebrates Nuakhai and Rath Yatra, Rajasthan is known for Teej and Gangaur, and Goa is famous for its Carnival and Shigmo.
Hence, Bihu is famously celebrated in Assam.
