The correct answer is: a) Community gatherings.
Kati Bihu (or Kongali Bihu) is the third of the three Bihu festivals celebrated in Assam, India. It is observed in the month of Magh (January-February) and is dedicated to the cattle. The festival is a time for thanksgiving and prayers for the well-being of the cattle. It is also a time for community gatherings and feasting.
The main focus of Kati Bihu is on community gatherings. People gather together to celebrate the festival and to pray for the well-being of their cattle. They also exchange gifts and enjoy feasts. The festival is a time for people to come together and to celebrate their culture and traditions.
The other options are incorrect because:
- b) Seeking blessings for crops is not the primary focus of Kati Bihu. The festival is dedicated to the cattle, not the crops.
- c) Exchanging gifts is a part of Kati Bihu, but it is not the primary focus of the festival.
- d) Sports competitions are not a part of Kati Bihu.
