Last Saturday I and my friend made a plan to visit Surajkund fair held in Faridabad, Haryana near Delhi. This craft fair is held from first week of February every year. Craftmens, small shopkeepers and vendors set up their stalls and shops. They came here from all states of India and some came from various countries like Afghanistan, Turky, Bhutan, Thailand ect.
As fixed we reached the fair at about 12 o’clock. We had enough time, so there was no hurry. There were shops of general items, toys, various types of clothes, shoes, decorate items, household items, office items and sweets all decorated nicely and had irresistible attraction for people of all age groups. We saw huge crowd at almost every shop. Men, women and children in their ccolourful dresses, looked busy in doing this or that.
There was hustle and bustle everywhere in the fair. All were enjoying the fair in their own way. Young girls and women were seen busy in buying bangles of various colours and sizes from the bangle-sellers. Elderly ladies were buying goods of household utility.
There were hawkers too at several places, all crying in different tones to sell their goods. We were getting amused by their tones and gestures.The whirling and turling merry-go-rounds with cracking sounds were also a centre of attraction especially for the young children. Some people were dancing to the beating of drums. Their folk dance was worth seeing and we watched it with great happiness.
There were puppeteer and jugglers too. The rope dancers and magicians were also busy in their different activities. We saw in one corner some Jalebi sellers. They sold big Jalebi’s Called JALEBA. We purchased and ate it. It was very delicious.
The whole fair was full of activity. There were some volunteers and scouts who were helping the people in several ways. Some were engaged in restoring the lost children to their parents. There were good police arrangements to maintain law and order.
In the evening we too back with a nice feeling. The fair is, no doubt, a good source of knowledge about the varied life of our country and we must visit it whenever we have suitable time.
