Magh Bihu, Assam's harvest festival, is arriving with traditional bonfires and festive preparations. While the aroma of pithas and devotional songs fill the air, many recall a time when the celebrations, including the month-long 'Probhati' ritual and 'Uruka' night festivities, were more extended. This year, 'Probhati' has shortened, reflecting a shift in how traditions are observed, though the core spirit of devotion and community remains.
