Indian Fairs & Festivals in June

Ganga Dussehra (Uttar Pradesh)

According to the legends, Gangavataran or the descent of the Ganga, happened at this time. Devotees touch the water of River Ganga, bathe in it, and take the river clay home to venerate. In Haridwar, aratis are performed at twilight and a large number of devotees meditate on her serene banks.

Hemis Festival (Jammu & Kashmir)

Is celebrated at Hemis, to mark the birth anniversary of Guru Padmasambhava. Splendid masked dances are performed to the accompaniment of cymbals, drums and long horns. A colourful fair, displaying some beautiful handicrafts, is the special highlight of the festival.
