How is it observed?

As Magh Bihu is the festival of hunger, people enjoy the fest consuming varieties of food and meat. People make pitha, a traditional food/sweet. There are varieties of it. People make it to consume and serve the guests on this occasion. People also make maji, that is a house built of dry banana leaves or straws for day to enjoy the feasting night that is not inside their own home. The next day early morning , the majis are burnt.

I enjoy Magh Bihu a lot. This is the fest where your belly can swell up hahaha. Visit your relatives and you can not run away from variety of tasty tasty foods.
