Fairs and Activities
During February–March every year, an animal fair is organized by the local municipality. The fair starts about five weeks prior to Holi (the festival of colors) and ends in two weeks. As this fair ends, starts a fun fair for human beings. This fair is known as Jayeshwar Mahadev Mela (in the name of an ancient Lord Shiva temple). The fair usually starts around three weeks before Holi and ends on the previous evening of the festival. Apart from usual trading and amusement facilities, municipality arranges for a special event in the evening. The trend so far has been in a way that the last night of fair gets an orchestra. The orchestra plays through the entire night, till very early morning. This evening is considered to be as one of the biggest public gatherings in the town.

Famous quotes containing the word activities:
“Justice begins with the recognition of the necessity of sharing. The oldest law is that which regulates it, and this is still the most important law today and, as such, has remained the basic concern of all movements which have at heart the community of human activities and of human existence in general.”
—Elias Canetti (b. 1905)
