The modern form of this festival is a synthesis of diverse ethnic groups of different ethnic groups and species such as Austro-asiatic, Tibeto-Burman, Aryan and Ahoms, but it has deep roots with local festivals of Southeast Asia. Bihu is derived from Deori word, which means Bisu word meaning "excessive joy". There is an interesting folklore related to the origins of the Bihu festival. It is said that Bordoisila was the daughter of Lord God who married a few distant descendants. Bordoisila arrives at his mother's house once every day during the spring, which starts from Bihu and suggests the leaves after a few days, which indicates the end of Bihu.Assam has experienced a strong wind experience during that period, which shows a strong calf after the start of Bihu and its departure, which is disastrous. The word bordoisila is actually derived from the Bodo word bordeciphella, meaning this word "storm girl". During Baisagu, the Boro people also have a dance with the same name, which further proves that Bihu has originated in the Bodo-Kachari group.
