The Bagarumba, known for its rhythmic grace and floral symbolism, is a traditional folk dance performed by Bodo women and is often referred to as the “butterfly dance.” This mega event aims to promote unity, cultural pride, and the artistic brilliance of Assam’s tribal communities.

Officials said logistical arrangements, coordination with cultural bodies, and selection of performers from across Assam have already begun. The event is expected to draw widespread attention and become one of the largest tribal dance performances ever held in the state.
