Let us tell you that this fair is called Navi Mela in which all the villagers are involved and there is a program of dancing and singing.

After that, the women travel to the Yamuna river, although the fair has not been organized due to the sinking of the boat on Thursday afternoon. On the other hand, local Ramu said that there is a means of the boat to go across the Yamuna river, which attracts about 1000-1500 people every day.
