 Baneshwar Fair, Rajasthan Travel PackagesCelebrated by the tribal population of Rajasthan, the Baneshwar Fair is mainly a religious event that involves simple and traditional rituals. The fair owes its name to the revered Shivalinga, which is kept in the Mahadev Temple in Dungarpur. On this colorful event, tribals from the neighboring states of Madhya Pradesh and Gujrat converge in Dungarpur to take part in the 4-day long affair.
The Baneshwar fair is held at a small delta formed by the river Som and Mahi. In fact, the fair is actually a merger of two different fairs: one which used to be held in honor of Lord Shiva and another fair which started after the construction of the Vishnu temple by Jankunwari, daughter-in-law of Mavji, a highly revered saint considered to be an incarnation of Lord Vishnu.
Besides its spiritual significance, the Baneshwar Fair is also a colorful affair replete with cultural programmes, magic shows, animal shows and acrobatic feats that are sure to delight an avid photographer. A number of gaily-decorated stalls occupy the place of pride in the BaneshwarFair and sell everything ranging from essential items to handicrafts. If you visit the Baneshwar fair during your Rajasthan tour, you will surely agree that it is an unconventional but a very enjoyable affair. It may be reminded that the Baneshwar Fair is being held from 6-9 Feb, 2009.
