Karsaal is a tehsil in Chakwaal and this seems a local mela common in rural Punjab and Sindh. I don't find any thing special about this mela. Same cheap mujras and all that

Dancing to the tunes of Sufi saints - DAWN.COM

It may be noted that dance at the shrines of Sufi saints in the subcontinent is a ritual during the Urs (annual fair). Dance called “Dhamal” in Punjabi was originally attributed to the shrines of two saints: Hazrat Lal Shahbaz Qalandar in Sehvan Sharif and Hazrat Syed Abdul Latif known as Bari Imam of Islamabad. Hundreds of dancing girls still rush towards Sehvan Sharif every year where they perform to pay homage to the Sufi saint. However, the dance was banned at Bari Imam’s shrine perhaps when Gen. Ziaul Haq seized power.

The dancing girls still attend the Urs of Bari Imam but they do not perform and the more painful aspect is that the federal government has failed to hold the Urs of Bari Imam for the last a few years on the pretext of security.

However, thousands of disciples throng the shrine in May, the month of Urs. The same tragedy has happened to the Urs of Waris Shah, the Shakespeare of Punjabi language, whose Urs, which used to attract thousands of people from across the country, is not being held for the last a few years.

Re: Mela Karsal

No I haven't heard of it before.

Re: Mela Karsal

Government should try regulate the urs’s.

Re: Mela Karsal

Its a can of worms. Zia ul Haq's actions seems justified, when we see search results on google :D

Re: Mela Karsal

There are all sorts of urs going on, some of them may or may not even be genuine. Many people do not like what happens in some of them, barelvis should look into this otherwise people might turn away from them. They have already lost a lot of ground, they need to adapt to the changing rwalities otherwise they'll become history.

Re: Mela Karsal

these mujras in the name of samaa are unbearable not only for religious folks, but also for the people who frequent these mazaraat in normal days (mainly ladies who visit there for mannat muraad)

Re: Mela Karsal

I dont know how frequent these things happen, but guess I am lucky that I have not witnessed them yet. Thats another thing that you can find many criminals in the mazaaraat, people have lost their kids to strangers there. Mujra is Mujra, under no pretext can it be called mehfil e samaa.

There used to be this mela where I used to live in Lahore, I am sure that the peer was not even a genuine one. People from all over (mostly poor folks and many Christians too) used to visit that mela, full make up on and stuff.

Re: Mela Karsal

people lost their children in kumbh ka mela as well :(
