Inspired by Symbols of Assam Notebook (Small) - Set Two - Set of 2

Bihu denotes a set of three different cultural festivals of Assam. Bihu, the most important festival of Assam is celebrated with fun and abundance by all Assamese people irrespective of caste, creed, religion, faith and belief. In a year, Bihu is celebrated three times in Assam - in the months of Maagh (the middle of January), Bohaag (Baisakh, the middle of April), and Kaati (Kartik, the middle of October). Each Bihu coincides with a distinctive phase in the farming calendar. Bihu is also used to imply Bihu dance and Bihu  folk songs.

The North Eastern region is regarded as a heaven for a butterfly enthusiast. Out of the world's 15, 000 odd butterflies, Assam alone houses more than 800 of the exotic winged variety; nearly a 50% of the butterflies found in India. Butterflies serve as important plant pollinators in the local environment, and help important plant crops. These little winged creatures play an important role in bio-diversity conservation. But there has been a gradual decline due to deforestation and very less conservation activities. This decline in species is an indication of the ongoing global environmental crisis, and if not checked will perhaps reach a point where downward trends can no longer be reversed.
