Devidhura Fair




Devidhura Fair is organized on the day of Raksha Bandhan at the Barahi Temple in Devidhura.

During the fair, the image of the goddess kept in a locked brass casket is taken as a procession to a nearby mountain spring. The image is then ritually bathed by a blindfolded priest before replacing it in the casket. The goddess is then worshipped all night and the Bagwal Fair is celebrated in the morning amid much excitement.
