Origin of Kalabari Name

There are many tales that are prevailing with the origin of the name Kalabari:[5]

1. During the reign of Chutia King Dharmanarayan, Kalabari was the capital of the state. King Dharmanarayan started establishing different projects for the development of the state. The king was very happy to see that all the projects were completed on time with their work and art (Karma and Kala in Assamese). Hence, King Dharmanarayan kept the name Kala-purna gram (meaning artfull village)or Kalap gram. Later with the passage of time this words transformed into Kalabri.

All these community combine together to form a composite culture in Kalabari.

Kalabari Bihu

Bihu of Dologuri, Kalabari is famous among the entire Assam ever since its history. In 1680, Sargodeu (King in Ahom Dynesty) Rajeshwar Singha under the supervision of Kirtichandra Borbaruah built a dol (temple) at Dologuri Satra (Kalabari Dakhinpat Satra). From the starting of Chot month (Last month of Assamese month) people start practicing Bihu in the field of this Dologuri Satra. After the start of Assamese New Year in Bohag month, the field is filled with the local and non-local people for Bihu celebrations and it ends on around 8th or 9th day of Bohag. On the last day, the young girls play bihu under a big tree in an open field and take blessings for the wellbeing of the society and March forward without looking back. This is called Bihu Bondha or Bihu Uruwa.

Another attraction of Dologuri Bihu is the ‘Hepu’ (dyspnea or shortness of breath) performance. According to old people, the birth of Hepu is said to be due to the pressure of domestic problem some people are kept away from Bihu, later on due to desire of uncontrollable mind, they come running for long distance causing shortness of breath or dyspnea which are being used as a peculiar form of Bihu song which is been called as ‘Hepu’, indigenous only to Dologuri Bihu.

After independence of India, with the revolution of time bihu environment too got transformed. The bihu under the tree of Dologuri got transformed into Bihu mela. From, 1963 Bihu competition of invited bihu teams started. Taking Dologuri as an example, many Bihu melas were organized in other parts of Kalabari. In this regard, the Bihu mela organized in 1968 by "Sadou Kalabari Bohagi Mela" is very welknown. With reference to the Bihu melas in kalabari many Bihu teams were formed viz. ‘Dologuri, ‘Shilpi Shainik’, Mornoiporiya’, ‘Pasuwa’, ‘Dhumuha’, ‘Borluitporiya’ etc. With the current of time, the Bihu teams of kalabari was able to get established in National and international level.
