Correct Answer: 3


Solution : The correct option is 3.

The Bihu festival, celebrated in the Indian state of Assam, occurs three times a year. The first is Rongali Bihu, also known as Bohag Bihu, which is the most widely observed and signifies the Assamese New Year. It takes place in mid-April, during the Assamese month of Bohag. The second, Kongali Bihu or Kati Bihu, is observed in mid-October, during the Assamese month of Kati. This celebration is a more solemn occasion, focused on lighting lamps and performing rituals to protect crops. The third, Bhogali Bihu or Magh Bihu, is held in mid-January, during the Assamese month of Magh.
