A Village Fair

A Village Fair


A village fair is a gathering of village people at a certain places, usually in an open field or under a huge banyan tree or in an open bazar, to enjoy an informal ceremonial interaction. It is a traditional. It is a traditional heritage of the Bengalis. 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 help survive our tradition through generations downward. They are, for the reason, very important from a socio-cultural point of view.
