Tarnetar Fair is an exciting and a unique fair held annually at Tarnetar in Saurashtra in Gujarat. This fair is held at the Trineteshwar Temple on the occasion of the wedding of the legendary Mahabharat hero, Arjun with
Draupadi. The fair is a kind of a marriage market for the local
tribals- the Kolis, Bharwads and Rabaris in Saurashtra. The traditional costumes, exquisite jewellery and wonderful Tarnetar “Chhatris” (umbrellas) with intricate embroidery and mirror work are sold. The tribals in their colourful dress sing dance and make merry. The major attraction of this fair is the lively folk dance performances by the
tribals. |
