Bagwal fair of Devidhura will not be held this time. Currently, there is no formal announcement to cancel the fair, but considering the strong possibility that the fair will not take place, the option of holding the tradition of Bagwal symbolically without an audience is being considered. Thousands of people have been attending this fair every year being organized by the District Panchayat. Every year on the day of Ashadi Kautik (Raksha Bandhan) in Kholikhand Dubachaur of Maa Barahi Dham Temple, located in Devidhura, 57 km from Champawat, there is a rebellion. Bagwal, played with fruits and flowers, is proposed on August 3.
At the same time, four Kham (Chamyal, Gaharwal, Lamgadia and Walig) and seven wholesale warriors participate in Bagwal along with Farro, but this time due to Corona, the possibility of a two-week Bagwal fair is over. Businessmen come from far and wide in the fair. The people of the region's four flaws Chamyal, Gaharwal, Lamgadia and Wallig play Bagwal on the day of Rakshabandhan. It is believed that in the past there was a practice of offering burnt offerings, but when it came to the sacrifice of the only grandson of an old grandson of Chamyal Kham, the fear of descent was done by an elderly woman who did penance to mother Barahi.
For your information, let us tell you that on the advice of the old lady, when the Goddess is pleased, the four trenches, fighting with each other, accepted the matter of worshiping by shedding blood equal to a human sacrifice. Since then, the process of the Bagwal has been going on. There is no meeting regarding the Bagwal fair. In view of the dangers of Corona, the representatives of the four flaws will work with the administration and consider the situation ahead. If there is no fair, the symbolic Bagwal will be considered. Any kind of fair and overcrowding is banned. Given the threat of Kovid-19, it does not seem possible to have Devidhura Bagwal fair this time. The district panchayat takes at least three weeks to prepare for the fair. But this time there is neither so much time nor conditions worth holding.
