Assam preparing to break world record with biggest bihu performance

Guwahati: More than 11,000 dancers and drummers will perform the “largest Bihu performance in a single venue” at Sarusajai Stadium of Guwahati to enter Assam’s name in the Guinness Book of World Records.

The performance was postponed and will now take place on April 13 at roughly 5:30 pm. It had previously been planned for April 14.

The performance’s goal is to establish a new Guinness World Record for the biggest Bihu dancing performance in one location. The event will take place at the Sarusajai Stadium in Guwahati, the largest city in the northeastern state of Assam, as part of the Rongali Bihu spring festival, which marks the start of the Assamese new year.

The performers are presently practising for the momentous occasion. Prior to this, Prime Minister Narendra Modi was scheduled to join the festival celebrations. However, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma preponed the event by a day.

CM Sarma expressed his hope that the occasion would highlight Assam and its rich cultural legacy.
