Abstract: 
The Bodos are one of the aboriginal or the earliest inhabitants of Assam. They are spread all over the Brahmaputra valley and the contiguous areas of North Bengal, Meghalaya, Tripura, and Nagaland. Since time immemorial, the Bodos have been maintaining a distinctive identity in terms of race, religion, and culture. The folklife of Bodos is arguably rich and multifaceted which can be seen in their day-to-day socio-cultural life. They have rich cultural traditions that flourished through generations. This paper attempts to explore the folk festivals of Bodos which they have practising invariably since time immemorial.
