A Village Fair

A village fair is a fair where village products are displayd and sold at a cheap rate. A village fair is the most joyful and enoyable fair. Bangladesh is a land of villages. So, a village fair is very common to the people of Bangladesh. 

It usually sits on river sides or canals or in front of a temple on the first day or the last day of Bangla year. It also sits on the occasion of Durga Puja. The joyful fair usually lasts for a day or a week. 

Speceally the hand made fancy articles are displayed and sold here. The potters, weavers carpenters and blacksmiths display their products in the village fair for sale. Many kinds of cheap  and fancy goods such as toys, dolls, kites, combs, bangls, ribbons, ornaments, bamboo-made articles  and garments are sold in a village  fair too. 

Fruits and sweets are also sold here. Jatra, jarigan, doll dance and cock fight are held in a village fair. Cock-fight and doll  dance are the main attraction of the fair. Men, women and children of all  classes visit the village fair. The gambling party is also seen here. 

A village fair is a great source of amusement and joy. It eradicates the monotony of routine works and keeps the village people cheerful and playful. But no gambling party should be allowed in a village fair. I am also fond of visiting a village fair.

Visiting an historical place or an old relic like the Shat Gombuj Mosque is an important part of education. It helps us to improve our knowledge, widen our outlook, give us joy and helps to remove the monotony of our routine works. During the last summer vacation I got a chance to visit the Shat Gombuj Mosque. I went there with my elder brother. We went there by bus. The world famous mosque is located on the eastern side of the tank named "Ghoradighi" at Bagerhat in Khulna.

The mosque was built/founded by a great muslim saint named Khan Jahan Ali in the middle of 15th century. It has 77 domes including 7 4 sided domes. That is why it is called Shat Gombuj Mosque. 

It has a vast prayer hall. The prayer hall was also used as the court of Khan Jahan Ali. The design and the beauty of Shat Gombuj Mosque is matchless. The Mazar of Khan Jahan Ali lies near the mosque.

There are a lot of large crocodiles in the tank. We met hundreds of boys and girls who came to visit mosque from different schools and colleges. I gained a new experience and new knowledge about a new place in our country. So in order to broaden and increase knowledge, any student should visit the historical mosque on holidays.
