In the Indian state of Bihar, there has been a bride fair for more than seven centuries, where women and their families come in search of a worthy husband. It was founded by Raja Hari Singh of the Carnatic dynastу, who decided to make it easier for women to find a husband. The market lasts 9 days and is called Saurat Mela or Sabhagachhi. Every year, thousands of men, many of whom come here from hundreds of kilometers away, line up under the trees at the local market in the Madhubani district, while women shoppers, accompanied by their relatives, walk the rows in search of a worthy candidate. But such a market has its own laws. For example, engineers, doctors, and civil servants are in the greatest demand at the fair. Preference is given to those who are younger and in good health. So older men have to try their luck next year, suddenly some women will be interested in them.
