More than 100 people gathered and enjoyed the evening with a sumptuous dinner and 'Mukoli Bihu'. The evening was marked by a few rounds of 'Tambola' and a Music Chair for ladies. The sumptuous dinner consisting of 'Murgir Mangso', 'Masor Tenga Jool', 'Murighonto', 'Boot Dal', 'Lebera bhaji', 'Bilahir Tok' and a sweet is followed by melodious songs by Sri Debojit Das. Enthusiastic participants gathered in the makeshift pendal and few from the audiences namely Dr. Geeta Baruah Nath, Srimati Mallika Sharma, Srimati Mimun Bharali Das, Sri Sidhanta Kashyap rendered melodious 'Bihu Geet'. The audience indulged in impromptu Bihu Dance and filled the air with the sound of 'Dhol' & 'Tal'. The dance by Dr. P. R. Agarwal & his wife Mrs. Nisha Agarwal were one of the leading dancing pairs.
