KENDULI MELA

A fair is organized in memory of Poet Joydeb on the occasion of Poush Sankranti or Makar Sankranti of Bengali calender. The community of wandering minstrels – Bauls – who sing devotional songs to the music of ektara – an one stringed musical instrument, assemble for the fair and stay in 160 temporary hermitages at Jaydev Kenduli for around a month. These bauls appear to have inherited the legacy of Jayadeva songs. Kenduli is located on the banks of River Ajay. The start of the fair commemorates the auspicious day on which Jayadeva is claimed to have taken a bath at the Kadaambokhandi ghat of the Ajay river at Jaydev Kenduli.
