It celebrates the rich culture and diversity of the state, and the three days are filled with folk performances, music, dance and more. It also brings together young tribal men and women who are looking for partners.

The famous Raas dance is a major attraction of the event. Reportedly, hundreds of women are seen dancing at the fair. It also attracts many sadhus from across the country, many of them participating with folk musical instruments in tow.

The gathering for the fair has been cancelled, the Trineteshwar temple will remain open for devotees. All the devotees have been instructed to follow all the coronavirus protocols and SOPs prescribed by the government authorities.
