The mela falls on H H Sri Sri Harichand Thakur's birthday thirteenth day of Falgun 1214 of the Bangla calendar. A sea of humanity has ascended on this small town on the Indo-bangla border of Thakur badi, some 1 km to the nearest railway station Thackur nagar. Conservative estimates put the flow of people at2.5 million and above. The mela or fair is organised every year in Thakur nagar of north 24 paraganas. Wondering what all of them do here take a dip in a small tank to get rid of diseases and bad omen. Matyua mela is a Hindu Bathing festival.
