DHUBRI: A colourful cultural programme was organised by a socio-cultural organization, Nrityangan, to celebrate Assamese and Bengali Rongali Bihu in Dhubri with pomp and gaiety on Saturday. The entire cultural programme was held on a vessel anchored on the north bank of the Brahmaputra River in Dhubri town against the scenic backdrop of the mighty Brahmaputra.
