Bunkhal Mela Dec 7th 2024 and Goda gaon ka tour

The Bunkhal Mela is scheduled to take place on December 7, 2024, at the Kalika Devi Temple in Chaurikhal village, located in the Pauri Garhwal district of Uttarakhand. This annual religious fair is deeply rooted in devotion to Goddess Kali and attracts people from nearby villages like Dhaijyuli, Bali Kandarasyu, and others.

Key Features of Bunkhal Mela:
Religious Significance: Devotees visit the Kalika Devi Temple to offer prayers, seek blessings, and sometimes fulfill vows with offerings or sacrifices, though the latter has seen restrictions recently due to advocacy for humane practices.
Cultural Activities: The event features traditional music, bhajans, and community celebrations, creating a festive atmosphere.
Animal Sacrifices: Historically central to the mela, these rituals are now regulated to ensure minimal impact.
Efforts have been made to balance tradition with modern sensibilities, including reducing the number of animal sacrifices​
