While cutting the straw, the women chanted Harinaam and Ghosa, turning the entire Jyoti-Bishnu Khetra into a spiritual ambience reminiscent of Brindaban. During the rest period, they sang the evergreen Maya Bini song of the legendary musician, paid tribute to the beloved icon and later participated in a community feast.
Notably, women participants from Udalguri and Biswanath districts also extended their cooperation, joining hands with women from Sonitpur district. This was informed by Bipul Bora, secretary of the reception committee, Bangshi Bhuyan, president of the cultural sub-committee and Ajit Saikia, president of the publication sub-committee.
