Roshni Mela (festival of lights) is held in Jagraon. The fair is held at the mazar of Peer Baba Mohkumdeen and lasts for three days. Thousands of people from Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh and other neighbouring states visit the place, light an earthen lamp at the mazar and pray.
This three day fair commemorates the descent of the Gugga Veer, a Chauhan Rajput, into the bosom of mother Earth along with his steed.
According to the legend, he obsessed extraordinary powers over all kinds of snakes. The fair is celebrated at Gugge di Marhi, a big holy place built in his memory that has a reputation for curing people of snake bites. Earth is scooped up seven times to appeal to Gugga Veer for safety against snakes.
People sing folk songs and present folk dances. The fair is held on the Anant Chaturdashi on the 14th day of bright half of the Bhadon (mid August- midSeptember as per Hindu calendar).
People mainly worship the snake embodiment of Gugga at this fair. The fair falls on the fourteenth day of Shukla Paksha of the month of Bhadrapad every year. It is believed that, the Chhapar Fair was started around 150 years ago by a small congregation of devotees. In recent years the number of people attending the fair has risen to millions.[4]
The Minor Chhapar Mela is also held at the same place. The special trend of scooping the land (seven times) is also practised in this fair. People consider digging of land will bring Gugga Veer to protect them against snakes.[5] The fair has much music, fun and dance. The fair has emerged as a grand festival in the past few decades.[4]
The legend narrates the story of a boy and a snake born together in an agricultural family of Chhapar village. The serpent and the boy were so intimate that if one suffered a pain the other used to cry. One day the mother of the child went to the fields after laying him on a cot. To save him from the scorching sun, the snake stretched its hood over him. Thinking that the snake was going to bite the child, a passerby killed it with a stick. The child died immediately after the death of the snake and the family was left in sorrow. The family was advised by the elders to perform religious ceremonies to worship Gugga and Siddha and a he-goat was left free to mark the place of worship by striking at a particular place. The place was recognised as Mari Gugga where people from all walks of life have been worshipping Gugga on the fourteenth day of bright half of the month of Bhadon every year. The farmers of the Malwa belt recognise the fair to the extent that they change the agricultural chores according to the dates of the mela.
People also narrate another story regarding the second fair known as Minor Chhapar Mela. At the beginning of the 20th century, the Maharaja was said to have banned the Mela because of a complaint by some farmers. But soon after the ruler banned the event, his horses started dying mysteriously and the misfortune stopped only after the ruler announced plans to organise the Minor Mela following the major one.
This was where Guru Gobind Singh presented the Hola celebration in the spring of 1701, the day after Holi. Hola Mohalla conveys the message of courage and defense preparation, concepts dear to the Tenth Guru, who defended the Sikhs against the threats of the Mughal Empire and the Hill Kings.
