Shravan Mela at Jageshwar




Shravan Mela is organized at Jageshwar, near the famous Jageshwar Temple - one of the 12 Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva. The fair is held in Shravan (July-August), a rainy season month in the North Indian Hindu Calendar. During this fair, a large number of pilgrims congregate at Jageshwar and take a holy dip in the Jataganga River and in the Brahmakund tank near the temple complex.

Jageshwar is also famous for Mahashivaratri Fair in February-March.

Jageshwar is easily accessible from Nainital and Almora. Kathgodam Railway Station is 135 km away.
