Guwahati, Assam, India: Today start the celebrations of the Rongali Bihu festival. For the next 4-5 days, every where, there will be fun of dance and music. To share the joy of Bihu, I am presenting the traditional dress of the Assamese men that gives importance to the gamachha with red embroidery on white clothe and the handmade golden yellow Moga silk. In my opinion, the best thing about these traditions is that these are not artifical things made for the tourists but are the living traditions of the people, you go out on the road and you find people actually wearing these!

गुवाहाटी, असम, भारतः आज से रोन्गाली बिहू त्योहार मनाने का प्रारम्भ हो रहा है. अगले चार पाँच दिनो तक हर तरफ़ नृत्य, संगीत की मस्ती छायी रहेगी. आज की तस्वीरों में बिहू की खुशी में असम के पुरुषों की पराम्परिक पौशाक प्रस्तुत है जिसमें सफ़ेद कपड़े पर लाल कढ़ाई वाले गमछों तथा सुनहरे पीले रंग के हाथ से बुने मोगा सिल्क का विषेश महत्व है. इन परम्पराओं की मुझे सबसे अच्छी बात यह लगती है कि यह पर्यटकों को दिखाने वाली बनावटी संस्कृति नहीं बल्कि जीती जागती परम्पराएँ हैं, आप सड़क पर जाईये तो लोग इन वस्त्रों में दिखते हैं!

Guwahati, Assam, India: Oggi iniziano le celebrazioni della festa di Rongali Bihu. Per i prossimi 4-5 giorni, da tutte le parti ci sarà da divertirsi con la musica e la danza. Per condividere la gioia di Bihu, oggi presento il vestito tradizionale degli uomini dell'Assam che danno molta importanza alla "gamccia" con il ricamo rosso sullo sfondo bianco e la seta di moga tessuta a mano, del colore giallo dorato. Secondo me, la cosa più bella di tutto questo è che non sono cose artificiali fatte per i turisti, ma sono le tradizioni viventi delle persone e se vai fuori sulla strada vedi persone che si vestono proprio così!
