Some fair are held for a day and some for two or even more days. It is generally held in the open place or on the bank of a river or a canal. All men, woman, and children gather in the Baishaki mela in a large number. Fency goods, toys, ballons, flutes, sweets and wooden things are mostly sold in this mela. Circus parties are also a common feature in a Baishaki Mela. They often bring trained elephants, horses, monkeys, bears to entertain the spectators.

Like many other pollutions sound pollution is also endangering our lives. When the vibration of sound exceeds the normal tolerable limit it is called sound pollution. Quietness is natural and highly necessary for a peaceful living. But now a days quietness of life has almost been gone from our life. Because of the growth of urban population and the increasing use of machines in our everyday life there has been a general increase of sound level around us. Horns and whistles of different vehicles plying on the roads are polluting the environment a lot. Besides, the drivers often press the horns unnecessarily. Moreover our young generation has a peculiar fascination towards listening music at high volume. Various shops especially tea-stalls and road side hotels also tune their audio system loudly. Mikes and loud speakers are also used on many occasions without thinking the tolerance limit. As we are affected with sound pollution we are now facing serious threat to our health. It causes harm to our ear. It also has a bad effect on our mentality. People who have heart diseases are badly affected by the sound pollution. So we should create awareness among the people to prevent sound pollution.
