The Assamese community of Minneapolis and Saint Paul celebrated their beloved festival, Rongali Bihu, on 16th April 2011. The bihutoli was the beautiful log cabin nestled in the midst of Lion’s Park, Shakopee, which has been the venue of our Bihu celebrations since 2007. Although the weather was less than spring-like, the day was fun filled and the Bihu spirit and our bihutoli kept us all warm and comfortable. Friends from within the city, from neighboring Rochester and Milwaukee and as far as New Jersey graced the occasion and made our celebrations even more fun and a day to remember.

On April 16, 2011, Rongali Bihu was concluded with much enthusiasm by the Texas Assamese community on the banks of the scenic Clear Lake. It seemed that the weather also cooperated with us with the clear blue sky and crispy air which lent energy to the sporting events. The day started with flag hoisting at 9:30 am by Satyajit Dutta. In keeping with the Texamese tradition, we sang “Sri Moyee Axomee” following the flag hoisting.
