Chappar Fair is formulated to worship the embodiment of snake of Guga. It was started by small gathering of devotees approximately 500 years before.

The legend goes to the village Chappar, where a serpent and a boy were born together in a family. The two were so intimately connected that the other would cry if one suffered a pain.

One day the child’s mother went to the fields. She laid the child alone on a cot. It was very hot and the serpent protected the child from hot sun by stretching its hood over him. A villager saw this and thought that the snake was biting the child. So he killed the snake. The child also died soon due to their close affirmity.

The family members prayed to Gugha and Sidh in a deep grief. To mark the place of worsip, a he-goat was left there. The place is well known as Mari Guga where devotees visit every year.

It occurs in the Bhadar month on the fourth day that is in the month of September. It takes place annually at Chappar, Ludhiana in India. The other fair, minor Chappar fair is also held on the same place.

Digging the land seven times is also practiced on this day. By doing this people think that Guga Pir will prevent them from the anxiety of the snakes. There is abundant of dance, fun and music during the fair.
