Lord Banke Bihari Adorns Assamese Attire on Bihu, Delights Devotees

GUWAHATI: On the auspicious day of the Assamese New Year, the holy grounds of the world-famous Shri Banke Bihari Temple in Vrindavan were filled with a special and heartwarming celebration.

For the first time, Lord Shri Banke Bihari Ji was dressed in traditional Assamese clothing, filling the hearts of the people of Assam and devotees from all over the country with joy and pride.

The Lord was beautifully attired in garments woven from Assam's renowned Muga silk, with a Gamusa—a quintessential mark of Assamese culture—majestically draped around his neck.

This spectacular look, marking the Bohag Bihu festival, attracted thousands of pilgrims to the temple from dawn, each bewitched by the divine and culturally vibrant spectacle.

The view of Lord Banke Bihari Ji within the golden color of Muga and Pat silk's elegant folds was nothing less than magical. For most devotees, it was a profoundly emotional experience, symbolizing not only spirituality but a deep acknowledgment of Assamese culture within one of India's most sacred shrines.

This beautiful clothing, or poshaak, was contributed by the family of Shri Atmaram Garg, a dignified citizen of Six Mile, Guwahati. Their act, paying respect to their cultural heritage on this large stage, was met with enormous response and gratefully admired by tourists and the Assamese population in general.

The event soon received attention across the country, with some of the top newspapers running the story in bold on their websites. The celebration cut across geographical lines, as Assamese individuals from all over the world felt proud and elated to see their traditional culture being celebrated in such a divine and sacred environment.
