Bohag Bihu in 2027
Bohag Bihu falls on 15 April 2027, a Thursday in 2027.
What Bohag Bihu is
Assam's spring Bihu and new year, at the Sun's entry into Aries. It runs seven days. The first is Goru Bihu, kept for the cattle - they are bathed in the river and fed brinjal and turmeric; the new year proper, Manuh Bihu, follows the next day, when new cloth is given and the Bihu dance and dhol begin. Of Assam's three Bihus - Bohag, Kati and Magh - this is the one that opens the year and the sowing.
How this date was worked out
The rule: This one is solar: the day the Sun enters Aries. The date is derived from the panchang - the same computation that drives this site's daily pages.
Regional variation
These dates are computed for New Delhi and follow the north-Indian (purnimanta) convention. Tamil, Bengali and Kerala traditions differ on several festivals, and a tithi boundary falling near a window edge can shift the day for a distant city. Check a local panchang before committing to a fast or an event.
