Kati Bihu 2022: Date, significance, wishes, greetings and messages

The people of Assam are celebrating the auspicious harvest festival of Kati Bihu today.

It is marked annually on the first day of the Kati month in the Assamese calendar and usually falls during mid-October. This year, it is on Tuesday, October 18.

The festival, also known as Kongali Bihu, marks a crucial phase of the year for every farmer’s family in Assam – the fresh start of the harvest season and the relocation time of rice saplings. It is rooted in the rural households’ deep ethos related to crops and their yield. It honours the service and penance of the people as they hope for a better future.

Though Kati Bihu is celebrated with much pomp across Assam, each tribe has their own interpretation and rituals. Generally, people light lamps outside their homes and create pathways with bamboo to welcome their ancestors. People also worship the Goddess Lakshmi and Tulsi plant for a good harvest.

On this auspicious occasion of Kati Bihu, here are some wishes, greetings and messages you can send to your loved ones on WhatsApp, Facebook and other social media platforms. Check below:
