The Mela Uch Sharif is a week-long mela (folk festival) held in March – April in Uch. People from southern Punjab come to honour Bukhari's role in spreading Islam. Participants visit Bukhari's tomb and offer Friday prayers at the local mosque which was built by the Abbasids. The mela commemorates the congregation of Sufi saints connected with Bukhari. It aligns with the Hindu calendar month of Chaitra.
