but primarily rural district dotted with small towns. Many of the small towns had markets that were held on specific days in the week, where agricultural produce and products of cottage industry found a wide range of customers, many of whom travelled long distances to attend the markets. The fairs (<i>mela</i> in Bengali) spread right across the district are thought of as an extension of the concept of markets, a place of not only trade and business but also a meeting place of people and an arena for cultural exchange.<sup id="cite_ref-paschim1_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-paschim1-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The largest and most notable fair is the <a href="/wiki/Poush_Mela" title="Poush Mela">Poush Mela</a> held at <a href="/wiki/Santiniketan" class="mw-redirect" title="Santiniketan">Santiniketan</a> for three days from 7 <a href="/wiki/Poush" title="Poush">Poush</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-paschim1_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-paschim1-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-paschim3_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-paschim3-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The <a href="/wiki/Baul" title="Baul">baul</a> mela is held at <a href="/wiki/Jaydev_Kenduli" title="Jaydev Kenduli">Jaydev Kenduli</a> on the occasion of Poush Sankranti or <a href="/wiki/Makar_Sankranti" title="Makar Sankranti">Makar Sankranti</a>.
