Lalon Mela 2015
As every year, this time too the Lalon Mela 2015, held on the occasion of Lalon's Tirodhan, came to a fine end. Lalon devotees rushed to this gathering from every region of Bangladesh and from many places across the world. Compared with previous years, this year saw somewhat larger crowds of devotees.
Through the five days of the festival, singing went on every day from 10 o'clock at night until 4.30 in the morning. The programme began at seven in the evening. First there was a discussion of his life, and afterwards the singing began.
Besides the singing on the stage, songs were also performed group by group in Fakir Lalon's courtyard. These songs continued without a break; nobody could say when they would end. The Lalon Mela opens on the occasion of Lalon's Tirodhan. Shops and stalls of various kinds take part in the mela: a circus, magic shows, a nagar dolona (swing ride), food stalls, shops selling goods and much more were set up for these five days of the fair.
What is delightful is that Baul artists from all over Bangladesh take part in the singing at this mela. Baul artists from every district take the stage in turn. It is at this mela that the true rhythm of Lalon's songs can be heard.
KushtiaTown.com extends its deepest respect to Lalon Academy and the Kushtia District Administration for presenting such a beautiful event without any sponsor.
The Tirodhan has ended; Dol Purnima 2016 is coming. An invitation stands for everyone to come.
