Market Of Birds : Rath Mela In Kolkata

Rath mela of the city now running just like a village fair at the
Ramlila Maidan of Moulali. And the fair will run upto 20 July. It is
just a piece of village, where everything can be found. From colourful
plastic bangles, dolls made of mud, trifle utensils, cup-dish, papad,
achar, morabba, ghugni, alur dam, phuchka, ice-cream etc etc. But the
main attraction is obviously the market of birds - all are foreign
birds - finches, java, love-bird, cocktail, badri... the crowds
bargaining all the time. This fair is 100 years old.
