Commemoration
The Mela Uchch Sharif is a week-long mela (folk festival) usually held in March–April in Uchch, where many people from Southern Punjab come to honour Bukhari's role in spreading Islam. Participants visit Bukhari's shrne, and offer Friday prayers at the local mosque built by the Abbasids. The mela commemorates the congregation of Sufi saints held by Bukhari, and aligns with the Hindu calendar month Chait.
