Melas are fairs organised on religious occasions but also have secular aspects. The largest fair of the Mer region is the Madhavpur Mela. The Mer community annually celebrates 'Rukmini no Choro', at the beautiful Madhavrai Temple. It is believed in Madhavpur, Krishna married Rukmini. Mers also attend regional fairs such as the Maha Shivratri Mela in Bhavnath, Junagadh and the mela at the Bileshwar Mahadev Temple in the Barda Hills. On Bhim Agyaras other fairs are organised in Odadar and Visavada in the highland and Balej in the low-land. Mers go on pilgrimage to Dwarka. Another common pilgrimage is to Mount Girnar.
