Before this, Bihu dance like this was not done together anywhere. This is a historic moment. We created a new record.
Our young friends did it. It’s teamwork in a way. It was mind boggling to see such a large number dancing. 2548 Dhulia participated in it. Earlier, the record of 1356 drums was broken today by our youth. Today, 2548 drummers set a world record by playing drums.
