Fairs of India - Muri Mela of Bankura district in mid January (sankranti+ 3 days) every year


Is anybody aware of this mela, 'Muri Mela' in a non-descript village in Bankura district of West Bengal. This unique mela doesn't have any merchandise for sale or purchase. Residents of the village and surrounding villages gather together to have 'muri' (puffed rice) with oil fried savouries, sliced onions, etc. It's said that having muri together forges a strong bonding people. 
The mela commences on the day of Makar Sankranti and continues for 3 more days.
