‘Ghost fair’ is held here in UP, people arrive dancing, know the secret

Mangala Tiwari, Mirzapur: Some are banging their heads and some are rolling on the ground. Someone is dancing and someone is singing a song, these are the people who are possessed by a ‘ghost’. This is the view of Barhi village of Mirzapur district in Uttar Pradesh, where the three-day fair held is a symbol of faith, belief, mystery and adventure. Here in the ghost fair, ghosts allegedly talk from inside people’s bodies. Lakhs of people participate in this fair and people allegedly possessed by ghosts are liberated.

Let us tell you, science does not accept the existence of things like ghosts and witches. But even in the present times, people in many cultures of the world believe in spirits and ghosts. Every year a ghost fair is held in the court of Bechu Veer Baba in Barhi village, 70 km away from Mirzapur district of Uttar Pradesh. To participate in this fair, a large number of people come not only from the state and district but also from other states like Bihar, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh and many other provinces.

This fair has been taking place for 350 years:

According to temple administrator Roshan Lal Yadav, a devotee coming to the court of Bechu Bir Baba for the first time has to take a bath in the nearby Bhaxi river, leave the clothes he was wearing there and wear new clothes and enter the threshold. This fair has been going on for about 350 and a half years. A crowd of people troubled by obstacles like ghosts gather here. After the wishes are fulfilled, the devotees reach Baba’s Dham for the fair with devotion and devotion. Devotees believe that a childless couple gets a child by visiting here.

Wishes are fulfilled here after darshan

Visitor Gudiya Sharma told that the daughter had been married for more than five years and was not having children. The whole family was worried. After coming here and seeing Baba, my wish was fulfilled. Now every year I come here to see Baba. This year I have brought my son. My son also has the same problem. Hopefully Bechu Veer Baba will fulfill this wish also. At the same time, Sarita Devi, who came from Ghazipur district, said that Baba has taken us far ahead. Whatever vow we come here with is fulfilled.
