Is an exciting and a unique fair
held annually at Tarnetar in Saurashtra. The fair coincides with the
festival at the Trineteshwar Temple, celebrating the wedding of the
legendary Mahabharat hero, Arjuna with Draupadi. The fair is a kind
of a marriage market for the local tribals - the kolis, Bharwads and
Rabaris. The traditional costumes, exquisite jewellery and wonderful
Tarnetar "Chhatris" (umbrellas) with intricate embroidery
and mirror work are sold. An added attraction is the lively folk dance
performances such as garba, ras, haro. |
