Chandrabhaga
Fair, Jhalrapatan ( OCT - NOV )
The Chandrabhaga fair is held every year at Jhalrapatan (6kms from Jhalawar)
in the month of Kartik (Oct-Nov).
The River Chadrabhaga runs here and is considered holy by the people residing
in this part of Rajasthan. On the Full moon night of 'Kartik purnima', thousands
of pilgrims take a holy dip in the river. The fair, held on the last day of
Kartik, attracts devotees who bathe in the holy waters at this spot which
is known as Chandravati.
A big cattle fair which blends religion with commerce is held here. Livestock
like Cows, horses, buffaloes, camels and bullocks are brought from distant parts
for sale. Traders from various parts of Madhya-Pradesh and Maharashtra converge
here and brisk trading takes place. The fair provides an opportunity for the
tourists to acquaint themselves with the people of this region and their rituals
and traditions.
Ramganj Mandi is the nearest Railway Station(25kms). Jhalawar is well connected
to Kota, Bundi and Jaipur. National Highway No.12 passes through Jhalawar. Buses
