This festival commences on 21st November every year and lasts for the next 3 days.

This event showcases many local artists and their talents, work, handicrafts and so much more. There is simply too much to explore and adore. There are multiple food fests that exhibit the best of delicacies. Majuli is 2.4km away from Gormur. Majuli festival is all about enforcing feelings of unity and solidarity in the people of the state and bringing them all together.
