Chandubi Festival History
As such the history of Chandubi Festival is not so ancient. But the Chandubi Lake itself is very important in history and geography of Assam. The lake is full of biodiversity ans it is very important for the ecosystem of this area. But the lake was not there from the creation. The lake was a creation of depression as a result of the Earthquake of 1879. As a proof , you may still locate some big trees in the lake.(As cited in Brief History of Assam book).
The Chandubi Festival is the result of effort of the local people to preserve and conserve the biodiversity of the area surrounding Chandubi Lake among people. All Rabha Student Union, Rabha Women Forum and some other local organization were the force to start this festival as a means to create awareness about biodiversity and the need to conserve the Lake.
