Bhavnath fair lackluster this year as focus shifts to Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj
February 26, 2025
Junagadh: Bhavnath fair in foothills of Girnar here has been lackluster this year due to Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj going on simultaneously. Many Sadhus and bhakts have visited Maha Kumbh or are visiting it at present, due to which the focus is on Prayagraj and the fair at Bhavnath has reportedly witnessed only around 6 lakh pilgrims against estimated 14 lakh footfalls last year. A five-day-long Maha Shivratri fair at Bhavnath ends on Maha Shivratri night after a foot march of Digambar sadhus and their bath in Mrugi kunda water tank located in Bhavnath Mahadev mandir.
