| A Village Fair |
The villagers have a great attraction to the
fair. Once I visited a village fair near Jhargram. It sat in a wide open
ground. When I reached there I saw a sea of human heads. Hundreds of temporary
stalls were set up at the site. The stalls offered to sell almost all the
articles we need in our daily life. There were earthen pots, pans, pitchers,
baskets, toys, dolls, women's luxury in the fair. There were some handloom
stalls. They attracted the women most. Sweetmeat stalls were offering mouth
watering items. The grown-ups crowded in front of the stationery shops.

The
children gathered round the toyshops and balloon-sellers. There was a
merry-goround in a corner of the fair. A great number of children had a ride on
the wooden horses. However, the main attraction was the circus-show. The people
came from distant villages. They were in their best dresses. The fair brought
the villagers joy and relief from their dull life. The village fair is a
festival to the village people.
