On the occasion of Lalon Shah’s birthday, the folk singers (Bauls) perform Lalon’s songs, usually under a banyan tree or on the bank of a river near a village and a group of people organize a fair at the spot. Rural musical instruments, handicrafts, pottery, light snacks, and household items are available at the fair which runs for three days or in some places one week or even longer.
At present, such fairs are also organized in urban areas and a good number of singers come from different parts of the country. Old and young, men and women, rich and poor participate in the fair with great enthusiasm.
