I hope everyone is well and enjoying their lives. Today I will tell you about my fair. There is a fair in our village which is the annual Urs of Hazrat Baba Barkat Ali Shah. On this occasion, a fair is organized here in which people from far and wide participate.
This fair is held here for three days which people enjoy a lot and the most famous game Kabaddi is held here. There is a whole tournament and teams from different villages and cities participate in this tournament.
Our village team is very good and there has never been a time when our village team has lost. Every time the tournament has been won by our village team. There is no team around that can compete with our team, so it is a matter of great pride for us that we have such players who are making our name shine. They are making our village name shine, so in this regard, today too I came to watch the final match of Kabaddi, which was a match between our village team, 10 and 149 Chak.
It was a very interesting match, both teams played very well, but fortunately, our team played well and was declared the winner. Both the runner-up and the winners were awarded prizes. The first team was awarded a Bima Trophy of Rs 30,000 and the second team was awarded a Bima Trophy of Rs 20,000. And various special guests were present who appreciated the players of the teams.
Generally, this festival of ours is celebrated more at night. People from far and wide come here to enjoy it at night. There are also various types of swings etc. here. So first of all, I want to show you the grave of the person whose Urs Mubarak is celebrated. People come here, recite Fateha, and pray for his forgiveness. Because he was a friend of Allah, theyprayedy for him and then start their next work.
We also went there and recited Fateha and there were many people gathered there and were also distributing charity. We recited Fateha there and stood there and took pictures. After taking pictures, we then moved towards our next destination.
The most special event of this festival is the swing where people enjoy themselves a lot. Here, every child, old, young, man, woman, everyone enjoys themselves. The largest swings here are one boat, the second is a dolly swing, and the third is a circle swing. People enjoy these three swings a lot. Similarly, there is cycling for small children, along with cycling, and jumping. and there is also a seesaw swing.
Apart from this, our village dance is performed here, a drum is played on top of it. Many people enjoy it a lot, some people are experts who are skilled in this work and they make other people happy here.
When the drum beats, a man dances, and as he continues to dance, the drum starts beating faster and everyone starts dancing and having a lot of fun.
Some people make vows by bringing a flag or a sheet and placing it on the grave, but this is not correct. I would say that if you have to make a vow, make a firm intention before Allah so that you will get the reward for it from Allah and not from any of His servants.
Another great thing is that there are food stalls here where children, elders, and the elderly all come and eat. We have fish from the stalls, and along with fish, we have potato chips, potato pakoras and samosas, samosas, and potato rolls. Apart from this, there is jalebi here which is included in the sweets, and along with the sweets we have fruit chaat. Similarly, there is a tea stall where tea lovers come and drink tea.
Since it is winter season now, the cold is starting and a soup stall is set up here where people enjoy it a lot. Boiled eggs and egg pakoras are also available here. Then apart from that, there is a peanut stall here where people eat peanuts. In this way, there are many things that people from other cities or other villages come here and enjoy a lot.
There is a special market next to this court, there are many stalls there, which include children's toys. Most of the time there are only children's toys because the shopping is done by children who come with their parents or with their friends and come here and buy a lot. Among these things, pistols, which we use as a weapon, children play a lot with pistols, which are also water-filled and the other is bullet-filled. And similarly, there are flashlights, dolls, bears, and many other things that we see in normal life, all those things are available here.
The showpieces that we usually use in our homes and offices are also available here in large quantities and we can buy them from there. And similarly, a photographersitsg with them and takes photographs with different people. First, he takes a simple picture and then attaches it to others through software. In this way, small people, and children, enjoy it a lot, like a favorite actor Salman Khan, so he attaches a picture of a child with Salman through an application. The child is very happy that I have taken a picture with Salman, so in this way,y they also run their circuit.
This festival lasts for three days and for three days a large number of food is cooked here and distributed among the people. There is a long queue around the food, the food is cooked and the people are served. People eat their food here to their full stomachs, they do not have to pay any charges.
It is a special tradition here that food is cooked for three days and distributed among the people for three days. The people of the village also bring cooked food from their homes and distribute it here. Because a lot of people gather here, the food is easily delivered to the people.
Another interesting thing is that a magician comes here to show his tricks. He has a small fee, in exchange for this fee he shows everyone magic and shows his tricks. He has a lot of tricks, using which he makes others fool. In reality, they are tricks, but we feel that he is making this thing disappear by doing magic. That is also the glory of a festival and is quite an interesting thing.
This was our festival, which we enjoyed a lot for three days. Thank you all very much for staying here. I hope you enjoyed it too. It must have been fun to see you and we enjoyed going there. Thank you all.
