A religious meeting (Ekramia Isale Sawab) on the death anniversary of Hazrat Sham Sheikh Ekramuddin Haque, a Muslim saint popularly known as Huzur Sahib is organized at Haldibari in Cooch Behar district of West Bengal (India) every year. The seven-day fair, organised by the Mela Organising Committee, attracts devotees from different districts of north Bengal, Northeastern states, Nepal, Bhutan and Bangladesh. Devotees from all faiths - Hindus, Christians and Buddhists - join the Muslims to pray at the mazaar (shrine) of Hujur Sahib. Every year people assembled from different parts of the country at the fair that is the pride of Haldibari. It is a symbol of communal harmony. Camel sellers can also be seen at the fair, which is a centre for animal trading. The mela draws huge crowds of Bangladeshis from districts like Bogura, Dinajpur, Rangpur and Maimensingh.
