Festivals of Rajasthan

Chandrabhaga Fair Jhalrapatan (Jhalwar)

Chandrabhaga is considered the holiest river in this part of Rajasthan. On Kartik Purnima (full moon) night, thousands of Hindus undertake a pilgrimage here for a dip in the holy waters of the river.
A big cattle fair, next only to the Pushkar Fair, is held here on this occasion, blending religion with commerce. Livestock brought here includes cows, bullocks, buffaloes and camels. The fair provides an opportunity to acquaint with the people of Hadoti and their culture rituals and traditions. Besides the people of this region a considerable number of people converge here from nearby areas of Madhya Pradesh.
