In front of the mausoleum of a holy faimt--Mohamed Ghous--a fair is held annually on the outskirts of Gwalior town, about the middle of the rainy season. The most notice- able feature of the fair is the chakri- throw. A charkri is a piece of iron something like a spindle, over which a long plece of string or thregd is rolled. The player throws high ifi- to the air the iron chakri (literally a roll), holding ore end of the siring in his hand, and gives it a swing and jerk in such a clever manner that the chakri, 'on coming down, rolls up the thread again on itself, and is caught in the hands of the thrower. (The art has been dexteriously prac- ticed by a class of people for iges past, and some members are so re- nowned that they cut a good Hgure at the scene. It is most interesting to Watch the thrower fling the chakri firmed the rstory.
