Assam aims for another attempt at securing a world record in the realm of cultural heritage. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has announced plans for a mass Bihu dance event in New Delhi.
Assam Aims For Another World Record
The endeavour aims to gather an impressive gathering of 25,000 Bihu dancers from across the state. This announcement was made during a function where Sarma handed over the responsibility of organizing the event to the Cultural Affairs Minister Bimal Bora.
The event is scheduled to take place by 2026. This announcement follows the recent achievement that Assam made on April 15 when it created history by entering the Guinness Book of World Records.
Over 11,000 dancers and drummers came together to perform Bihu dance and play the dhol in a single venue. The event took place at the Sarusajai Stadium in Guwahati.
Extensive practice sessions will be held across the state to identify and showcase the best performers, to ensure the success of the upcoming event in New Delhi. Assam hopes to create history in cultural accomplishments once again.
