Assam's Bagurumba dance goes global with 10,000 performers!
India
Assam just made history—over 10,000 Bodo dancers came together at Guwahati's Sarusajai Stadium to perform the traditional Bagurumba dance.
With Prime Minister Modi in the crowd and a Guinness World Record attempt in play, clips from the event exploded online, crossing 200 million views worldwide.
More than just a dance: culture, unity, and new opportunities
This massive performance wasn't just about breaking records—it celebrated Northeast India's vibrant heritage and marked a peaceful chapter after the 2020 Bodoland Peace Accord.
The spotlight on local music and attire showed off Bodo pride, while Modi's presence and viral videos put Assam's traditions on the global map.
It's also a big win for cultural tourism and bringing more attention to indigenous art forms.
