The Assamese New Year officially begins with the celebration of Bohag Bihu in the month of Bohaag (middle of April), the first month of the Assamese calendar. Beginning on April 14th, Bohag Bihu is observed for seven days. "Garu Bihu" is the name given to the first day of the Bihu. On this day, folks bathe and pray for the health and safety of their home cattle while they take them to the river for a bath. People take a turmeric-based bath on "Manuh Bihu," the second day of Bihu. The "Guxai bihu," or bihu of the home deities, is held on the following day of Bihu. "Taator bihu" or "bihu for the handlooms" is the fourth day. The "Nangolor bihu" for the farming machinery is the next step. The domestic animals are to be honoured on the sixth day, or "Gharosia Jibar Bihu." The seventh and final day is referred to as "Chera bihu." The primary components of this Bihu are dance and songs. The folk melodies linked with Bohag Bihu are referred to as "Bihu Geet," and they serve as a symbol of love and passion among the young people of the hamlet. Traditional Assamese instruments are used to accompany the dances.

The Sikhs observe Baisakhi by taking a dip in the revered river and visiting the Gurudwaras, where they participate in the daytime prayers and the Nagar Kirtan procession. Everyone becomes merry during Baisakhi, and many like getting up and dancing all night long. Special ceremonies are held at the Talwandi Sabo, where Guru Gobind Singh revised the revered Granth Sahib, the Gurudwara at Anandpur Sahib, the birthplace of Khalsa, and the Golden Temple in Amritsar. Farmers pray for success in the upcoming year and give thanks to God for the abundant crop. Joyous farmers shout "Jatta Aayi Baisakhi" over the fields as they fervently dance and sing in honour of the holiday. It is an exhilarating way to begin the celebration.
