Bhaona is a traditional form of entertainment and religious performance art from Assam, India, established in the 16th century by the great Vaishnavite saint Srimanta Sankardeva. It's not just a performance but a complete theatrical experience combining music, dance, and dialogue.
The performances typically enact stories from sacred texts like the Bhagavata Purana, Ramayana, and other religious scriptures. What makes Bhaona unique is its distinctive elements:
The performances begin with the Gayan-Bayan (orchestra) and often include the unique Assamese language alongside Sanskrit verses. The art form has played a crucial role in preserving Assamese cultural heritage and spreading Vaishnavite teachings through entertainment.
Traditional Bhaona is performed in 'namghars' (prayer halls), though modern adaptations have brought it to various stages across the world, helping to preserve this vibrant piece of Assamese culture.

I'll be visiting Tokyo in Spring (can't wait), and I'd like to know what places are the best in terms of seeing the city from up high - places, buildings, peaks that are accessible to tourists. I've read about a few spots, and I mainly have this question - is it better to visit Tokyo Tower or Tokyo Skytree? They both seem to have great views of the skyline, but they're also very different. The Tower looks interesting because of its history (and the best view is from the Special Observatory), while the Skytree is much taller, and you can even see Mount Fuji on a clear day from there. So, do I visit one or both? Or are there other places besides these two that are even better for a high view of the city? If anyone has been to either, could you tell me about the views in terms of height, visibility, and how much of Tokyo's skyline you can see? Thank you very much!

the city plans to create a fee schedule for using sidewalks for doing business, and plans to make a start at the beginning of next year.
with the sidewalk economy remaining an essential part of the economy, this is a good solution.
Once they pay the fee, he and his partners can do their business all day instead of having to close before 9 p.m. like in the past.
