The Singphos are divided into clans, each with a chief known as a "Gaum". The main clans include Bessa, Duffa, Luttao, Luttora, Tesari, Mirip, Lophae, Lutong, and Magrong.
In 1823, Bessa Gaum was the Singpho chief who allowed Robert Bruce to take some tea plants and seeds. Some tea leaves were sent to the Botanical Gardens in Calcutta, where the plant was identified as a variety of tea. Tea experts credit Bisa Gam with the discovery of tea in Assam in 1823.

Answer: (B) Yatra Party
Answer: (B) Yatra Party
While various traditional theatrical forms existed in Assam, the Yatra Party is considered the most direct precursor to mobile theatre. Yatra parties were traveling troupes that performed plays, often based on mythological or historical themes, for audiences in different locations. This tradition of traveling performance troupes laid the groundwork for the development of mobile theatre, which adopted and modernized this concept. While Ankia Nat and Bhaona contributed to Assamese theatrical traditions, they weren't traveling troupes in the same way as the Yatra and thus not the direct predecessor of mobile theatre's format.

Kongali Bihu, also known as Kati Bihu, is an Assamese harvest festival celebrated in autumn (October-November). Unlike Rongali Bihu (spring) and Magh Bihu (winter), Kongali Bihu is a more somber occasion. It marks a lean period in the agricultural cycle, before the new harvest. Celebrations are typically simple, involving lighting lamps in paddy fields and offering prayers for a bountiful harvest. It symbolizes a time of scarcity and anticipation.
