Moho-ho is a folk festival celebrated in Lower Assam, particularly in districts like Kamrup, Goalpara, Barpeta, Nalbari, and Darrang. Held during the full moon night of Agrahayana/Aghun (November-December), its main objective is to eliminate mosquitoes and other pests prevalent during that season. The name itself combines "moh" (mosquito) and "ho" (to drive away). The festival involves traditional dances, songs, and the burning of bamboo effigies symbolizing the pests, all contributing to a community effort to ward off these nuisances.
