                The Dwijing Festival is a yearly river side festival celebrated on the banks of the Aie river, Chirang district, BTAD, Assam, India. It is a very huge festival filled with many interesting and colourful events and activities, river sports, trade activities, exhibitions and many other cultural events. The area where the Dwijing Festival is held is also a very famous picnic destination because of the beautiful views of the Aie River and the surrounding bridges nearby constructed by the BTC Authority. The most important and famous bridge of all of them is the Hagrama Bridge because it is the longest bridge and also it is the lifeline of the rural areas of Chirang. It also connects the Dwijing Festival with the rest of Chirang and Assam. In the year 2018, there are a wide variety of activities and events in the Dwijing Festival, which includes the following:
