Assam's Bihu Dance Breaks Guinness World Records with Over 11,000 Folk Dancers

Assam has made history by breaking two Guinness World Records for "the largest Bihu performance" at a single venue. The grand event, which took place at the Sarusajai Stadium in Guwahati, saw a total of 11,304 folk dancers and over 2,500 drummers perform the traditional Bihu Dance in the presence of Assam's Chief Minister, Himanta Biswa Sarma.
