Explanation:

Chaitra Chaudas Mela in Kurukshetra : This famous fair takes place in Saraswati Tirath of Pehowa during the months of March- April every year. In this occasion, lakhs of people from Haryana, Punjab, and rest of the country visit this place for the rituals like Pind dan (food offering to the ancestors of family) and Jal Tarpan (offering of water to these deceased souls of their ancestors). As per the popular beliefs, at this place itself, Pandavas performed these rituals for peace to the souls of their kin who lost their lives in the 18 days long fierce battle of Mahabharata. Thus, people from different parts of country come to Chaitra Chaudas Mela after completing the last rites of any deceased member of their family and pray for their resting in peace forever.
If Chaitra Amavasya falls on Monday any year, its importance increases manifold. After taking dip in Saraswati Tirath, pilgrims go to take bath in holy tanks of Kurukshetra and then they move on to take dip in holy Ganges at Haridwar during famous Kumbh Mela.
