What is Magh Bihu?

Magh Bihu, or Bhogali Bihu, is a harvest festival celebrated in the middle of January, on the cusp of the Hindu calendar months of Pausha and Magha. People observe this festival with feasts, traditional games such as buffalo-fighting and egg fighting, and lighting of a bonfire called meji. It coincides with Makar Sankranti.
