The festivities, marked by the sharing of traditional treats like chira, pitha, and a variety of local delicacies, brought the essence of Assam to foreign shores.
Cities such as Chicago, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, and Northern California hosted lively Rongali Bihu events, with participants coming together for traditional songs, dances, and cultural performances. The celebrations also served as a platform to showcase Assamese culture and foster a sense of community among the diaspora.
