Magh Bihu or Maghar Domahi is the harvest festival celebrated in Assam. On Uruka, the first day of Magh Bihu, women prepare foods like chira, pitha and curd. Young men help build structures called mejis and bhelaghars out of bamboo, leaves and hay for feasting. While the Kacharis of Assam celebrate similarly, they differ in offerings to gods of trees, fish and animals and cleaning granaries. During Bihu, young people practiced martial arts like wrestling and sword fighting to defend their land.
