Jhalawar or the Land of the 'Jhalas', is situated on the banks of the holy river Chandrabhaga. A three day long fair is celebrated every year in the month of Kartik (Oct-Nov) when an air of celebration pervades the whole area. Chandrawati, located on the river bank is considered the most sacred spot by the devotees.

Thousands gather on the full moon night of Kartik Purnima to take a holy dip in the river. A big cattle fair which blends religion with commerce is held here. Livestock include Cows, Buffaloes, Camels and Bullocks.

The fair provides ample opportunity to the tourist to acquaint themselves with the people of this region, their culture and traditions.
