Record<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A group of over 5,000 people came together to perform Bihu, a traditional dance of Assam and set a new Guinness World Record in Guwahati. The record-breaking performance took place at the Sonaram High School ground in Bharalumukh, Guwahati. The event was organized by the Bihu Committee of Guwahati, Assam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The previous Guinness World Record was held by a group of 4,400 people from Kazakhstan who performed a traditional dance in 2019. The Bihu dance performed by the group in Guwahati consisted of the three different styles of Bihu &#8211; Jeng Bihu, Bor Bihu, and Ali Ai Ligang Bihu. The event was attended by several dignitaries, including the Assam Chief Minister, Himanta Biswa Sarma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bihu dance is an integral part of the Assamese culture, celebrated during the harvest season. The dance is performed with traditional Assamese musical instruments, including the dhol, pepa, and goona. It is a symbol of unity and togetherness and is considered an important aspect of Assamese identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new Guinness World Record for the largest Bihu dance performance has brought pride to the people of Assam and has put the state&#8217;s cultural heritage in the global spotlight. The event also promotes cultural tourism in the state, which has immense potential but has remained largely untapped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This event can be significant for students preparing for government exams, especially those appearing for exams conducted by the Assam Public Service Commission (APSC). As dance is an integral part of Assamese culture, students must be aware of it and its significance to the state&#8217;s identity. Knowledge of the state&#8217;s cultural heritage can also be helpful for candidates appearing for exams that require knowledge of the state&#8217;s history and culture.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\" id=\"Bihu-Dance\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/edunovations.com\/currentaffairs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Bihu-Dance-1024x576.webp\" alt=\"Bihu Dance\" class=\"wp-image-2955\" title=\"Bihu Dance\" srcset=\"https:\/\/edunovations.com\/currentaffairs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Bihu-Dance-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/edunovations.com\/currentaffairs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Bihu-Dance-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/edunovations.com\/currentaffairs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Bihu-Dance-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/edunovations.com\/currentaffairs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Bihu-Dance.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Bihu Dance<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_This_News_Is_Important\"><\/span>Why This News Is Important<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Assam_creates_Guinness_World_Record_with_Bihu_Dance_Performance\"><\/span>Assam creates Guinness World Record with Bihu Dance Performance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A group of over 5,000 people came together to perform Bihu, a traditional dance of Assam and set a new Guinness World Record in Guwahati.
