Jonbeel Mela
The spectacular Jonbeel Mela is held every year during the winter season
at Jagiroad, a township located 32kms from Guwahati.
In this fair, various
tribal communities of Northeast come downwards from the hills with different
kinds of products. Before
the beginning of the mela, an 'Agni Puja' is performed for the well
being of mankind. The speciality of the fair is the barter system where
the people of these tribes interchange their merchandise with the local
people. Traditional dance and music performance are also performed to
enhance the celebration. |
