Bhaderwah, Sept 08: The annual three-day Mela Patt, dedicated to Lord Vasuki Nag, the presiding deity of Bhaderwah Valley, commenced on Sunday at the ancient Khakhal Mohalla in Bhaderwah.
The festival, rooted in the Nag culture, marks the historic meeting between Mughal Emperor Akbar and King Nag Pal of Bhaderwah and has been celebrated since the 16th century. Ashok Kotwal, Kameshwar Nath, and Rishi Kotwal, the main organizers, emphasized that this long-standing event is a living testament to mutual brotherhood and cultural heritage.
This year, the festival continues its tradition of drawing hundreds of people from different parts of Jammu and Kashmir, regardless of caste or religion, to pay tribute to the bravery and spiritual power of Raja Nag Pal.
First celebrated by King Nag Pal when Bhaderwah was known as Bhadarkashi, Mela Patt holds a special place in the cultural and religious fabric of the region. It is observed every year on Nag Panchami, seven days after the conclusion of the Kailash Yatra, and is renowned for its inclusive nature. The unique ‘Dikko Dance,’ a traditional folk performance where men and women of all religions and backgrounds participate, serves as a symbol of peace, pride, and communal harmony.
What makes Mela Patt particularly remarkable is its 600-year history, which has been free of any untoward incidents, highlighting the deep respect for Raja Nag Pal and the communal unity of the area. The festival not only honors religious traditions but also showcases the proud historical legacy of Bhaderwah.
