Kati Bihu, also called Kongali Bihu, is celebrated in the Hindu calendar month of Karttika (Kati in Assamese; falls in the October–November) when rice saplings are transplanted and granaries are mostly empty. It is a somber occasion when families offer prayers for a good harvest. It involves lighting lamps near tulsi (holy basil) plants and in paddy fields.
