the mirror of our traditional culture. It is presumed that it was started about
600 years back during Emperor Akbar's reign. On this occasion fairs used to be
organized there. In due course, the occasion became part of domestic and social
life and turned into a day of merriment. Baisakhi Melas are arranged in many
parts of the country. Though Baisakhi Melas are organized in a planned way in
almost all cities of the country, originally they are very much rural based.
Various agricultural products, traditional handicrafts, hand-made cakes,
special kinds of foodstuff, sweets. potteries, bangles, pitchers, and cane
products are the main exhibits. Toys, cosmetics as well as various kinds of
food and sweets are sold at these fairs. The fairs also provide entertainment,
with singers and dancers staging Jatra, Pala gan, Kavigan, Jarigan, Gambhira
Gan, Gazir Gan, and Alkap Gan, Artistes present folk songs as well as Baul,
marfati, Murshidi and Bhatiali songs. People from all walks of life visit the
fair wearing traditional dresses. The melas add a new taste to the day. The
Baisakhi Mela is an ancient form of Bengali folk festival that continues to
thrive in the modern age. It continues for three days, one week, or even as long
as one month.
