Baishakhi Mela is a fair
which is held regularly every year in the month of Baishakh, the first Bengali
month. Baishakhi Mela bears an image of the rural Bangladesh. It beautifully
reflects the true rural picture of our country. However, I recently visited a
Baishakhi Mela in our locality. I went there in the evening. I saw stalls of
various things and articles of daily necessity were set up. In those stalls
potteries and traditional handicrafts, bamboo flutes etc. were mostly
available. Besides, various cakes and sweetmeats were, brought there. I bought
two flutes, some baloons and cakes of different types. The cultural functions
of the traditional Bangla folksong, zaree, sharee, bhawaia and zatra were also
held there. I heard folksongs attentively. The songs reminded me of our
cultural heritage and identity. I passed my time very pleasantly. In fact, I
enjoyed the Mela very much.
