It’s an important musical instrument from Assam, particularly used during the Bihu dance. It is usually played by a young Bihuwas (a male Bihu artist) and is often compared to a flute.

Magh Bihu is ignited for the ceremonial ending and supplication to the Fire God. The festival originates from the Tibeto-Burman cultural traditions and the Kachari festival known as Magan.
