Chandrabhaga
Fair is held
every year
in
Jhalarapatan,
6 kms from
Jhalawar in
Rajasthan in
the month of
Kartik
(October-November).
River
Chandrabhaga
is
considered
holy by the
people in
Rajasthan
and so on
full moon
day in the
month of
Kartik
thousands of
devotees
take a holy
dip in this
river. In
2016, the
fair will be
organized
from 13th to
15th
November.
To mark this
occasion, a
large cattle
fair is held
on the last
day of
Kartik which
also
attracts
thousands of
pilgrims
from all
over India.
The cattle
fair which
merges
religion
with
commerce is
held here
and
livestock
like
buffaloes,
cows,
camels,
horses and
bullock are
brought in
this place.
Traders from
distant
areas like
Maharashtra
and Madhya
Pradesh
gather here
and take
part in the
trading of
these
animals.
The fair
also
attracts
tourists who
get an
opportunity
to interact
with the
locals and
familiarize
themselves
with their
rituals and
customs. |
