Bagurumba Dance Shines at Advantage Assam 2.0

The Bagurumba dance is a traditional folk dance of the Bodo community, often called the 'Butterfly Dance'.

It is inspired by nature and is performed during the Bwisagu festival, which is the Bodo community's new year celebration.

The dance is dedicated to the Bodo god Bathou and the Sizu plant.

During the dance, women wear traditional attire in colors inspired by nature, and the music is played using traditional instruments like the Kham drum and the Sifung bamboo flute.

The dance is passed down from generation to generation, with each adding its own touch.

At the Advantage Assam 2.0 summit, 10,000 dancers will perform the Bagurumba dance before the Prime Minister and the Chief Minister of Assam.

The event aims to showcase Assam's cultural heritage and economic potential to attract investors.
