Hi. Dear. Well, i am an Indian and from Assam. Here Navaratri or Dussera are not so popular though we celebrate Durga puja, Dewali and Holi. We have the same festive season and there are some folk festivals like Bihu, for which we assamese wait eagerly. Regarding religious festivals, Raas Purnima is more popular and colorful that we celebrate for 11 days having lots of fun. Thanking you. Have a nice time.
