BAISHAKHI MELA
Baishakhi Mela is a fair held on the 1st day of Baishakh in celebration of the Bengali New Yedr's day. It is a part and parcel of Bangalee culture. Baishakhi mela is the" reflection of our national unify. It shows that we, the Muslims, Hindus, Christians, Buddhists, live here in peace and communal harmony. It is our a great long tradition. This mela strengthens our unify and mutual relationship. In this festival; our various cultural activities are performed and thus it helps us preserve our long-aged native culture. On the first day of Baishakh, we decorated our school premises very tastefully with colbured-paper-festoons, baloons and cloth flags of multi-colours. We erected two gates of pine-leaves on bamboo structures; one for entrance* and one* for exit. Bamboo enclosure was put up around the premises. Mela stalls were laid out in a circular shape and they were rented out to different shop keepers who set varieties of fascinating articles to sell. The decoration and building work was done: by volunteers who were also engaged in maintaining order and disicpline in the fair. The whole premises looked like a dream-land. We arranged a cultural .function when our various native culture were enacted by renowned singers, dancers and actors. The children were most happy in the fair and had a lot of fun and excitement. They bought fancy articles and were overjoyed with them. People of all ages and occupations, irrespective of sex, caste and creed crowded the fair, bought things and enjoyed„a lot. I was also in a very festive mood and had been to the fair all the day long with my friends. I enjoyed a great deal to remember for another year to come.
