Chappar Mela
The popular Chappar Mela is organized every year at Chappar, Ludhiana. People mainly worship snake embodiment of Guga in this fair. The fair falls on the fourth day of the month of Bhadas every year. It is believed that, the chap par fair was started around 150 years back, just by small congregation of devotees and these days the number of people attending the fair has risen to millions.
Another fair with the name as minor chappar fair is also held at the same place. The special trend of scooping the land (7 times) is also practiced in this fair. People consider digging of land will bring Gugga Pir to prevent them against snakes. The fair is full of music, fun and dance. The fair has emerged as a grand festival in past few decades.
