The Gwthar Bathou San, also known as the Sacred Bathou Day, was observed with great devotion and enthusiasm at the Bathou temple in Bagansali, Kokrajhar, and across various parts of Assam, on January 28. 
 

The events commenced with the hoisting of the sacred flag, followed by traditional rituals, worship, and a collective prayer meeting conducted in adherence to the customs of the Bodo traditional Bathou religion. Devotees gathered in large numbers to pay homage to Bathou at the temple.
