Bihu is a representative dance of Assam and is performed during the Bihu festival in the harvest season. The spring festival has its roots in ancient fertility cults which find expression in the songs accompanying Bihu Dance as well as in the movements of the dance. Bihu is performed by young men and women in a fast tempo to the beat of the Dhol, a drum and the wind instrument Pepa or flute. The Bihu festival also ushers in the sowing season after the harvest and the time for marriages in rural society.
