In pictures: Mela razzmatazz at Ramlila Maidan near Moulali adds to Eid celebrations in central Kolkata

The illumination at the entrance of Ramlila Maidan on CIT Road near the Moulali crossing and announcements on a loop over the public address system are sure to entice visitors to the special Eid Mela

All that glitters may not be gold at this fair but can women stay away from pocket-friendly jewellery, even if that be artificial

A visit to the fair and not savouring the snacks, no matter how unhealthy they could be, can never be justified

Nothing can be more fun than a ride on the pirates’ ship and the whiff of fresh air that it ensures at that elevation

But for the children, the ball pit remains an eternal favourite with a li’l bit of adult supervision

Trying one’s luck at the ball game is a must for visitors of all ages

A sip or two of fresh juice or colourful sherbets on a sultry evening is most welcome for parched throats

Before you head to the phuchka, jhal muri, bhel puri stall to titillate your tastebuds to your heart’s content

Take a trip back to your childhood days by bursting tiny balloons with an air rifle

Order your fast food made on a tawa before you tuck it in with your best friend, even if that means skipping dinner at home

The toy stall can entice visitors to pick up a nice toy for any child at home or those who are still child at heart

Collect a trinket or two to add to your collection of pride but of course, after a good bargain
