Mela is a Sanskrit word meaning "gathering" or "to meet" or a "fair". It is used in the Indian subcontinent for all sizes of gatherings and can be religious, commercial, cultural or sport-related. In rural traditions melas or village fairs are of great importance. People can find eateries, entertainment activities, shops and games. Melas are a once in a year opportunity to gather, chit chat, eat, dance, smoke hookah, play games… and have a lot of fun.
