Explanation:
India is a land of fairs and festivals. They provide us a lot of fun and amusement. The urban people have many sources of attraction and recreation. They can visit the dazzling bazaars, big restaurants and cinema halls. The weekly bazaars provide them the facilities of marketing. The poor villagers lack all such facilities. The bazaars are far off from the villages. The villagers’ life is very hard and lacks all charm. They have no means of recreation. Their secluded life is cut off from the urban modernization.
Many fairs are held every year in the villages. These fairs generally, take place on the occasion of some festival. The Holi fair, the Rakhi-Badhan fair, the Basant fair, and the Baisakhi fairs are the chief and common ones. The Baba Haridas Mela is the most prominent one in our area. It is held at village Jharauda Kalan, twice a year.
This year, I had a chance to see the fair. It was held in the interior of the village. There is a big open space all around Baba’s Samadhi. Thousands of people visited the fair from far and near with their near and dear ones. I saw a great hustle and bustle there. The people had parked their bullock carts, scooters, motorcycles, trucks, tempos, and trollies in the exterior of the village. Most of the people had stayed there during the previous night. It was the 6th lunar day of the bright fortnight of the ‘Chaitra’ month. Many temporary shops had been set up there. The fair was in full swing since early morning. All the people took a bath in the ‘Mallah’ (tank). Some ladies got their children’s hair trimmed and floated them in the holy water of the Mallah. After the dip, the people bowed their heads before the samadhi and lit the lamps there. Everyone offered and distributed prasad there. The people took different vows and prayed for the fulfillment of their desires.
Answer:
India is a land of villages though urbanization is taking place at a fast pace. Still, most of the people in India live in villages. They do not have many means of entertainment and shopping in the village and have to go to the nearby towns for this purpose. But fairs, which are held frequently in villages, provide them a welcome relief.
A fair is also held in my village every year on the day of Baisakhi. The Baisakhi always falls on the 13 days of April every year. It is on this day that the farmers start harvesting their wheat crops in northern India. Hence the day is celebrated with great joy with only little variations from village to village.
I went to see the Baisakhi fair held in my village last year. It covered quite a vast area outside the village. A very large number of people from nearby villages were making a beeline to the fair. There was a large number of stalls. At many stalls, sweets and men and women with their heads covered were sitting on be niches and were eating colorful barfi, rasgullas and gulab. Some of them were taking saltish dishes like samosas and pakoras.
Some stalls were selling colorful toys, balloons, and balls; there was a great rush at the stall selling ladies items like glass bangles, bracelets, necklaces, and several other items of artificial jewelry. Some religious-minded old ladies preferred to buy clay images of gods and goddesses.
In one corner a juggler was showing his tricks. And in another corner, a snake charmer was singing with his pipe in front of a Cobra who had its hood raised while a large crowd of people stood around.
However, one great attraction of the fair was the fold dance of Punjab, which was being performed most enthusiastically by young boys for the sheer joy of doing it. And similar was the case with giddha performed by young girls. The fair was like a paradise.
