Assamese Culture & the Seven Sisters

Assam lies at the heart of India’s enchanting Seven Sisters—the northeastern states known for their natural beauty, rich traditions, and diverse communities. Assamese culture is deeply rooted in harmony with nature, music, dance, and handloom artistry. From the graceful Bihu dance and soulful folk songs to the world-famous Assam tea and handwoven Mekhela Chador, every element reflects warmth and tradition. Together with the other Seven Sisters—Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, and Tripura—Assam shares a cultural bond of festivals, cuisine, and vibrant heritage that makes this region one of India’s most unique and colorful.
