RUSHPURNIMA FAIR AT
MURASINGPARA
|
The mela was organised locally by the villagers of Nishikanta
Murasingpara under West Patichari Gaon Panchayat in Bagafa block in that area. Since 1999,
the Panchayat Samiti of Bagafa Block has taken active part in the fair and now this is
organised on a large scale every year in the month of October-November on the occasion of
Rushpurnima. The site of the fair is Murasingpara which is about 30 Km from the district
headquarter and about 82 Km from the state capital, and is easily accessible by road. The
highpoint of the fair is the folk dance and songs of different tribal and non-tribal
groups during the fair. Some government departments open their exhibition stalls in the
mela. Businessmen of Udaipur, Santirbazar and Belonia open their shops during the fair.
