00:08Bardhaman's Ghorir Mela lasts for 3 days in a day.
00:13Bardhaman's Ghorir Mela is celebrated by an ordinary Buddhist.
00:21You will see that Ghorir Mela is celebrated everywhere during Vishwakarma Puja.
00:27But Bardhaman's Ghorir Mela is not celebrated during Vishwakarma Puja.
00:31It is celebrated during winter.
00:32There is a reason behind Ghorir Mela being celebrated during winter.
00:37Actually, Maghi Utsav, the festival of bathing in Maghi month,
00:44was celebrated by people from South Damodar in Bardhaman for a long time.
00:49And people from Bardhaman city also used to bathe in Damodar.
00:53In the early days of Bardhaman,
00:57there used to be a festival called Mayur Konkhi Mela.
01:00The speciality of Mayur Konkhi Mela is that
01:04there used to be a group of singers.
01:06Mayur Konkhi is a folk song.
01:08There used to be a group of singers.
01:09They used to decorate the Ghorir cars like Mayur.
01:12And in between the two groups,
01:16there used to be a song called Torka Torki with Radha Krishna's Leela.
01:21There used to be a group of singers from different villages.
01:25There used to be two groups of singers.
01:27And there used to be a winner among them.
01:30And the winner was awarded by the king of Bardhaman.
01:35This was called Mayur Konkhi Mela.
01:37Mayur Konkhi was a battle of songs.
01:39This used to take place in Sadar Ghat.

02:03the Ghori dance used to take place.
02:07It used to take place in Rajbari for the first month.
02:09And after that, it spread throughout the city of Bardhaman.
02:13And later on,
02:15after the independence,
