class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Magh Bihu is a harvest celebration in Assam, observed in the Assamese month of Magh (January). It marks the end of harvesting and the start of a more relaxed period for farming communities. The festival is known for two big things:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Bhog (feasting):<\/strong> shared meals, traditional winter food, and community gatherings<\/li>\n<li><strong>Meji:<\/strong> a ceremonial bonfire, lit in the early hours after Uruka Night<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Uruka_Night_matters_this_is_what_most_travellers_miss\"><\/span><strong>Why Uruka Night matters (this is what most travellers miss)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Uruka<\/strong> is the eve of Magh Bihu and the part of the festival that feels the most authentic.
