Original review summary

FACTLY reports that the video was not filmed in Assam: it shows the Charmonai Mahfil, a religious gathering in Barisal, Bangladesh. The review says the event banner and stage setup match the video, and that no credible reports support the claim of such a gathering in Assam.[S1]

Additional context

The review says the Charmonai Mahfil is held twice a year; its 2025 Phalguna gathering began on 19 February, and the most recent Agrahayana gathering took place from 26 to 28 November 2025. [S1]
