10k Artists to Perform Bagurumba Dance in Presence of PM Modi in Guwahati

Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Saturday announced that a troupe of 10,000 artistes will perform the Bagurumba dance in Guwahati on January 17, in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. 

The initiative is aimed at introducing Bagurumba, the traditional folk dance of the Bodo community, to a global



audience.

Pointing out that his government has taken this step to highlight Assam’s rich cultural heritage, the chief minister said that the idea of organising this event in presence of the Prime Minister is to give international recognition to Bagurumba, as Bihu and Jhumur have gained widespread appreciation.
