Angaraag Papon Mahanta Telegraph pictureAs the people of Assam remained home during Bihu owing to the ongoing country-wide lockdown, many artistes took to social media to entertain them. Hosting live performances on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube, the artistes performed their popular songs so that their audience could at least get a taste of their songs. In usual circumstances they would have been on stage for different Bihu programmes in every nook and corner of the state. Papon, who was at home this time after five years, said he missed the festival very much and decided to entertain people by singing Assamese songs online. Decked in traditional attire, the performer sang a number of Bihu songs and played traditional instruments like pepa and dutora for her audience.
