Chandrabhaga Kartik Fair, Jhalawar

On the banks of river Chandrabhaga, in the month of Kartik, a large cattle fair next in the size to that of Pushkar fair is held on the occasion of Kartik Purnima. Pilgrims from Hadoti region and parts of the neighboring state Madhya Pradesh come and bathe in the holy waters of Chandrabhaga river. The peasants bathe and worship, are variously entertained, and delight in the dazzling wares of the roadside stalls and small shops. Various cultural activities are held by Rajasthan Tourism Development Corporation (RTDC).

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.
