Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Assam .
The festival Bhogali Bihu (also known as Magh Bihu) is celebrated in the state of Assam.
Bhogali Bihu, locally called Magh Bihu, marks the end of the harvest season in Assam, typically observed in mid-January. The festival includes the festive night known as Uruka, when communities build temporary huts (bhelaghar) and cook lavish feasts. The following morning features the burning of Meji—bonfires that symbolize purification and gratitude for a successful harvest. It's a celebration of community bonding and cultural heritage filled with traditional music, folk games, and Assamese delicacies. As one of the three major Bihu festivals (alongside Rongali and Kongali Bihu), Bhogali Bihu stands out for its joyful feasting and thanksgiving spirit.
