Deion
to the Ludhiana Jarag Mela:
The Ludhiana Mela is also known as the Beheria Mela. To
create the shrine of the goddess Seetala the people gather around the pond and
shovel out earth. It seems that faith is the only thing that matters, and if
you have faith even the clot of earth would become the shrine for worship.
To this hand made shrine the people offer their worship,
and usually gurugulas or jaggery is the most preferred item. Then this jaggery
is offered to a donkey which is her Vahana. The overwhelmingly hued donkeys in
a pageant are something worth an observation. The multitudinous colors reflect
the rich and gorgeous tint of the Indian Heritage as well.
Time for
the celebration of the Ludhiana Jarag Mela:
Generally the Ludhiana Jarag Mela is held in the month of
March and April. In the Indian calendar it is the month of Chaitra.
