A Village Fair

    A village fair is a gathering of village people at certain place, usually in an open field under a huge banyan tree or in an open bazar to enjoy an informal ceremonial social interaction. It is a traditional heritage of the Bangles. In the fair many things are bought and sold. There are attractive things for people of all ages, including male and female ones. Special attractions include Jarigan, Kabigan, Merry go rounds, magic show, Jattra and so on. Handicraft goods occupy an important place in the fair. Such fairs are held normally two or three times a year on the occasions of the New Year Day, Eid Days and the Durga Puja. They are, for this reason, very important from a socio-cultural point of view.
