The village fair stands to the village folk as a chief source of relaxation and merriment . It is usually a gathering among the villagers in an open place . It is very common now - a - days . Most village fairs take place on the occasion of some religious festivals like Rather Mela on the Rath Yatra and Gajan Mela on the Gajan in the month of Chaitra . The village people build up different stalls in rows to sell various items of house - hold goods , and different kinds of handicrafts .
Men , women and children in hundreds , even from neighbouring places , come to visit the fair . It gives the village people a good opportunity to meet their relatives who live far away . It is mostly on a fair that they can exchange their greetings and enquire after each other . Young girls crowd the shops of bangles and colourful bands . Little children are curious about dolls and toys ; sweets and candies . A circus party and a merry - go - round are the objects of great attraction at a fair especially for the children . Though short - living , it is a good trading centre for the village people , and important in view of rural economy . The life of the rural people is dull and monotonous . A village fair is thus a great joy to the villagers .
