Chandrabhaga Fair 2026-A Sacred Celebration on the Banks of the Chandrabhaga River
The Chandrabhaga Fair 2026, scheduled to be held from 23rd to 25th November 2026, is one of Rajasthan’s most vibrant religious and cultural gatherings. Organised on the serene banks of the sacred Chandrabhaga River in Jhalrapatan near Jhalawar, the fair beautifully blends spirituality, tradition, folklore, and rural festivities. Drawing pilgrims, traders, folk artists, and travellers from across the country, the fair reflects the timeless cultural essence of Rajasthan. Known for its spiritual significance and lively atmosphere, the Chandrabhaga Fair is celebrated during the auspicious month of Kartik. Thousands of devotees gather to take a holy dip in the Chandrabhaga River, believed to possess sacred and purifying powers. Alongside the religious rituals, the fair transforms into a grand cultural celebration filled with music, dance, traditional markets, and rural experiences.
The Chandrabhaga River holds deep religious importance among devotees visiting the region. According to local beliefs, taking a dip in the river during the fair is considered highly auspicious and spiritually cleansing. Pilgrims arrive from nearby villages and distant regions to participate in rituals, offer prayers, and seek blessings. The ghats of the river come alive at sunrise as devotees perform sacred ceremonies amidst the chants of hymns and ringing temple bells. The spiritual atmosphere creates a peaceful yet vibrant experience that captures the devotional spirit of Rajasthan. The fair is closely associated with the historic temples of Jhalrapatan, often referred to as the “City of Bells” due to its numerous ancient temples and architectural heritage.
