Games, Dance and Feast that reveal public expression of community satisfaction and good will, ingrain both historical as well as geographical tradition. The Junbeel Mela, Gossain Ulliuwa Mela Festival, Melas of Dantialia Rajya (Tiwa Kingdom) and melas of Sato Rajya, Pacho Rajya and other kingdoms bear the resemblances regarding the process of observation of their melas .The Junbeel Mela is the significant seasonal festival observed by the Tiwas of Morigaon and West Karbi Anglong District. The noteworthy significant of the festival is the ‘Barter System’ which takes place in between the hill and plain people. The Gosain Ulliuwa Mela festival plays a great role in the folk culture of Middle Assam (basically Morigaon and Nagaon district) and reflects a distinct picture of Tiwa folk performing art ensuing the Neo-Vaishnavite influence in its celebration.
