🙏Mythology behind the fair:
🍁The fair celebrates the marriage of Lord Krishna with Rukmini around 4,000 years ago, as per Hindu mythology.
🍁According to mythology, Lord Krishna had established his kingdom in Dwarka near Porbandar. Rukmini, daughter of King Bhimak of the present-day Arunachal Pradesh, wanted to marry Krishna, while her brother wanted to marry her off to Shishupal, Krishna’s cousin. Therefore, Krishna abducted Rukmini, brought her to Gujarat and tied the knot with her at Madhavpur village.
♥️Today, to mark the wedding, marriage rituals go on for five days. They culminate with the idols of Lord Krishna and Rukmini being taken out in a procession through Madhavpur for ‘samaiya’, a ritual to welcome the bridegroom back home with his bride.

🅾️Significance and scaling-up of the fair
⭕️Gujarat is famous for its cultural fairs, such as the Tarnetar fair in Surendranagar and the livestock fair of Vautha in Dholka. Most of these fairs are held in monsoon and winter. The Madhavpur Mela, though unique as it is held in summer — the sea breeze in the coastal village saves it from the worst of the blistering heat – was till five years ago just one of the hundreds of fairs held in the state.
⭕️But in 2018, the state government, in collaboration with the Centre, took over its organisation, with an aim to highlight cultural connections of the Northeast with the western part of the country
🅾️Till five years ago, the Mela was organised jointly by the Madhavpur village panchayat and the local temple administration on a 23-bigha plot known as ‘Mela nu Medan’, near Madhavraiji temple. But in 2018, the state took on rent farmers’ plots around the temple for a larger revelry.
