Jonbeel Mela Every year on the weekend on Magh Bihu, a three-day festival is organised by the Tiwa community in Jonbeel in the Marigaon district. Jonbeel in Assamese refers to a crescent moon shaped water body. This festival is one of a kind and has been celebrated since the 15th century in the region. For the occasion, a huge bazaar is set up, and people from far and wide come to participate in the mela. The Tiwa, Karbi, Khasi, Jayantia tribes of the north east come down to the hills to barter what they want with what they own with the locals. This is perhaps the only form of festival dependent on the barter system in the country today. The larger theme of the festival has always been peace and harmony and true to its theme, it always begins with an Agni Puja to seek blessings from the almighty for the prosperity of mankind and good for brotherhood. During ancient times, the Gobha kings would visit the fair with their courtiers to be a part of the celebrations with their public and collect taxes. Even today, the 19 customary successors of the kings from the Gobha kingdom run this tradition very proudly. Since a couple of years, these kings have been provided with the royal allowance by the government to maintain and survive the royal heritage. Over the years, this festival has become a huge attraction for tourists as it serves as a chance of meeting with a world completely different than theirs, knowing what it was like in the ancient times, experience the rich heritage of Assam and be a part of the joyous occasion which the locals celebrate by singing and dancing on their folk songs.
