Christians from various denominations came together in Udalguri for a day marked by service, fellowship, and Christmas cheer. The gathering showcased unity among believers from across the district, cutting across linguistic and cultural lines.
The day began with a town wide cleanliness drive, where volunteers swept streets, cleared litter, and prepared public spaces for the upcoming festive season. Participants then decorated key areas of the town with stars and Christmas ornaments, symbolizing hope and joy.
Organized by the Udalguri District Christian Co-Ordination Committee in collaboration with the Assam Christian Forum, the program aimed to strengthen harmony among local Christian communities. Organizers described the event as a meaningful step toward building unity during the Christmas season.
A special prayer service at the Udalguri Nalbari Playground set the spiritual tone for the day. With hands lifted in prayer, believers thanked God for blessings, sought peace for the region, and shared testimonies of hope.
The highlight of the event was a colourful Carols Rally. Hundreds marched through the town singing Christmas hymns, accompanied by drums, guitars, and vibrant banners carrying messages of love and light. Christians speaking Assamese, Bodo, Santali, Garo, Nepali, Rabha, Munda, and other languages walked together as one community. “How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity,” a participant said, echoing Psalm 133:1 as the rally concluded in an atmosphere of joy and togetherness.
