On Goru Bihu, people bathe their cattle with a paste made out of turmeric and black gram, then later feed them special food, which is prepared using rice, pulses and other ingredients.

Women folk wear the best of mekhela chador and tuck a strand of kopou phool (a variety of orchid) in their bun. Every Assamese across the globe celebrate Bihu with great enthusiasm and zeal.
