The celebration lasts for three days starting on Pongal day (or Janmashtami) which marks the birth of Lord Krishna - January 14th in case you are wondering how these things work!

The word Bihu means arrival or triumph; it refers to various rituals performed during this time frame since they represent an auspicious beginning to one's journey through life’s ups and downs – “Goodbye winter goodbye summer goodbye autumn / we say goodbye now / enjoy your new year!”

The Festival provides an opportunity for young people from both sides (Assam & Bengal) to interact with each other through screenings of movies made by people from different places on borderlines like this one between two states where there is also another festival being held simultaneously called ‘Mogol Moot Vibhaag’ which happens every year during November-December every year where we celebrate our history together as a community through dance performances etcetera so that we don't forget who we really are today because everyone has their own identity but still remains connected with others around them no matter what differences might arise between them later down the line!

Durga Puja is a nine-day Hindu religious festival celebrated all over India. It is the most important Hindu festival of the year, which falls in autumn each year. During this time, Hindus worship goddess Durga and other deities such as Kartikeya, Ganesha and Lakshmi.

Durga Puja can be traced back to pre-Buddhist times when it was an annual event held at various sites in Assam & Bengal regions (including Tezpur).
