Our
hearts
are
full
of
pride
and
happiness
while
mentioning
about
the
biggest
Bihu
dance
performance
by
11,304
dancers
&
drummers
that
happened
in
Assam
on
13th,
April
2023
which
created
two
world
records
and
made
it
to
the
Guinness
World
Records.
At
the
Sarusajai
Stadium
in
Guwahati,
more
than
11,000
dancers
and
musicians
performed
the
Bihu
dance,
which
set
two
world
records.
The
popular
traditional
dance
form,
which
is
practiced
throughout
Assam,
especially
during
the
festivities
of
Bohag
Bihu
or
Rongali
Bihu,
was
performed
by
more
than
7,000
dancers,
the
majority
of
whom
were
female
performers,
&
more
than
three
thousand
drummers
along
with
musicians
from
all
the
districts
in
the
state.
The
performers
performed
their
acts
and
achieved
the
world
record
for
Bihu
dancing
and
dhol
playing
in
front
of
a
judge
from
the
Guinness
World
Records,
London
headquarters.
Before
the
event,
500
Bihu
dancers,
according
to
Rishi
Nath,
the
Guinness
World
Records
official,
broke
the
previous
attendance
record
and
he
called
the
event
“mesmerizing.”
The
Assam
chief
minister,
Himanta
Biswa
Sarma,
shared
memorable
moments
from
the
MegaBihu
rehearsal
on
the
social
media
platform,
Twitter.
The
Assam
chief
minister
made
a
speech
at
the
occasion
in
which
he
shared
his
opinion
that
Assamese
citizens
should
exhibit
themselves
as
a
proud
race
on
the
international
scene
and
that
their
mentality
of
setting
boundaries
for
themselves
has
limited
them.
He
also
emphasized
the
importance
of
highlighting
the
valour
and
bravery
of
Assamese
great
people
like
Lachit
Barphukan
for
the
world
to
see.
What
are
the
two
Guinness
World
Records
made:
-
Largest
Bihu
dance
performance
in
the
world -
Largest
performance
by
folk
musicians
with
instruments
including
the
“Pepa,”
“dhol,”
“Gogona,”
&
“Toka.”
A
Geographical
Indication
(GI)
registration
certificate
for
the
“Gamosa,”
a
traditional
Assamese
scarf,
was
also
given
to
CM
Himanta
Biswa
Sarma.
Gamosa
received
its
GI
tag
in
December
2022.
What
is
GI
Tag
and
Gamosa?
A
GI
is
connected
largely
to
manufactured,
natural,
or
agricultural
items
as
well
as
to
handicrafts,
industrial
goods,
and
things
originating
from
a
specific
geographic
region.
A
“Gamosa,”
which
is
Assamese
meaning
“towel,”
is
frequently
used
in
homes
for
both
everyday
activities
and
special
occasions.
Assamese
people
customarily
gift
the
“Gamosa,”
a
handmade
rectangular
cotton
piece
of
cloth
having
red
colour
borders
&
various
designs
and
motifs,
to
elders
and
guests
as
a
token
of
respect
and
honour.
It
is
seen
as
an
important
component
of
Assamese
identity
and
pride
and
is
included
in
all
socioreligious
ceremonies
in
the
state.
