Mehta Ji,
I didnt knew about Bikhoti Mela, and because of your mail and Mera Pahad portal i've been able to get the feel of it. I remember earlier people shared about Kalinga Mela as well though no pics. Infact there are many such events which i'm not all of us have seen or heard of. Its good to see some members like Mehta Ji are bringing to us such things, that has somewhere linked us to our roots.
I appreciate the work done. Thanks Mehta Ji!

Dosto,
You must have listened a famous Folk Song "O Bhina Kaski Jaanu Dwarhaata", Hit Saali Kautik Jaanu Dwarhaata".
Bikhoti Mela held in Dwarahaat on occassion of Baishakhi. Some of our members have visited Dwarahat this year to see this Mela. Some latest photos of the mela are here:
http://www.merapahadforum.com/culture-of-uttarakhand/bikhoti-mela-dwarahat-uttarakhand/15/ I am sure you would like these photos. I am happy our culture is still alive as Jhoda, Chachari are still sung in groups during the fair.
Regards,
M S Mehta
