BAIKHO
Celebrated In : Assam
Celebrated by : Rabha Tribe
Festival Dance : Rabha Dance
Significance : Dedicated to the Goddess of wealth.
Although the Rabha community does not have any national festival of their own, the different groups celebrate their own festivals. The Baikho or the springtime festival is only celebrated as Baikho or "Khoksi Puja" to propitiate the goddess of wealth, 'Baikho'. But unfortunately the pomp and grandeur of Baikho are not to be seen now a days in the villages.
