URULI, a Delhi based Assamese ladies social and cultural organisation, under the Presidentship of Lily Barooah, organised a Maghbihu mela at Srimanta Sankaradeva Bhawan on 31st. December 2006.
This is the first time a Bihu mela has been held in Delhi. There were a number of food stalls selling different pithas, ladoos and other food items. One of the most popular dish was Pointa Bhat, Aloo Pitika and Fried Fish. There was a food competition also. The first prize went to Dr. Reena Sarma, the second to Mrs. Aruna Barooah and the third prize was won by Mrs. Binu Saikia. The judges for the competetion were Dr. Indrani Barooah and Mrs. Laxmi Goswami. The function ended with a few words of appreciation and advice from Mrs. Laxmi Goswami. Those present enjoyed the function a lot - particularly the food. Manoj Kumar Das New Delhi 110017 ------------------------------------ moderator edited, assamonline
