Guwahati came alive with rhythm, colour, and tradition as the city hosted a spectacular Bagurumba Dwhou programme, offering a vibrant showcase of the rich cultural heritage of the Bodo community. The event drew enthusiastic audiences and stood as a proud celebration of one of Assam’s most graceful and meaningful folk traditions.
Bagurumba, often referred to as the “dance of harmony,” is deeply rooted in Bodo culture and reflects a close connection with nature. Performed traditionally by young women, the dance is marked by gentle hand movements, synchronized steps, and expressive formations that symbolize birds, flowers, rivers, and the rhythm of rural life. At the Guwahati programme, performers captivated the audience with their elegance, precision, and deep cultural expression.
Dressed in traditional Dokhona and Aronai, the dancers brought visual splendour to the stage, while the accompaniment of traditional musical instruments such as the Kham, Sifung, and Serja added depth and authenticity to the performance. The harmonious blend of music, movement, and costume created an immersive cultural experience for spectators.
The Bagurumba Dwhou programme not only entertained but also served as a powerful reminder of the importance of preserving indigenous art forms. Cultural enthusiasts, artists, and community members praised the event for highlighting Bodo identity and passing on traditional knowledge to younger generations.
Held in Guwahati, a cultural crossroads of the Northeast, the programme also symbolized unity in diversity, allowing people from different backgrounds to connect with and appreciate the heritage of the Bodo people.
The event concluded with applause and admiration, leaving a lasting impression on all who attended. The spectacular Bagurumba Dwhou programme reaffirmed the vibrancy of Bodo culture and its enduring place in Assam’s rich cultural landscape.
