People pray for a good harvest on Kati Bihu

Guwahati, Oct 18 (UNI) Earthen lamps were lit across homes and paddy fields in Assam today as the state celebrated Kati or Kongali Bihu with traditional fervour.
Kati Bihu, bereft of merriment and feasting associated with other two Bihus, witnesses people lightning earthen lamps in the evening, praying for a good harvest.
Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal, participating in the rituals at Jakai Kolioni in Dibrugarh District, said, “Assam has a very rich cultural heritage through which Assam has to be put in the world stage as a state with unique and unparalleled possibilitess. Bihu is one of them. Praying Goddess Laxmi during Kati Bihu establishes a unique relation of the Bihu with our economic activities.”
