Tarnetar Fair (GUJRAT)
The best known of Gujarat's fairs is held at the historic shrine of Tarnetar (Trineteshwar), a holy site locally believed to have been the original course of river Ganga. The fair is attended by eligible herdsmen, who sport brightly embroidered umbrellas and unmarried girls from pastoral tribes, who get to select their husbands in the old Swayamwara tradition. The fair is said to commemorate the victory of Arjuna at the contest held for princess Draupadi in this region. A dip in the temple tank on this day is considered as auspicious as a swim at the holy bathing ghats on the River Ganges.
