Nishan
Yatra
It
is believed that your wishes are granted if you offer a
Nishan at the temple.Nishan
is a triangular flag of a particular size, made of cloth,
which is hoisted on a bamboo stick. It is carried in one's
hands while covering the route from Ringas to Khatu (17kms)
on foot. Nishans are offered in millions during the Falgun
Mela, and it is a site to see.
Falgun
Mela
It
is one of the biggest festivals of Rajasthan. The SHISH
appeared on Falgun Sudi Ekadashi (11th of Shukla Paksha
- Falgun month) and hence the fair is organised from 9th
to the 12th of the same month.
Temple as seen during the Falgun Mela
An estimated million devotees visit the temple during these
four days from all corners of the country. There is virtually
no vacant space in the town during this period. The Govt.
of Rajasthan takes care of the law and order during the
fair.
Hundreds
of stalls are put throughout the town selling sweets, food
stuff, music cassettes, books etc. Special arrangements
are made for feeding the devotees in almost all the Dharamshalas
and Vishram Grihas.
There
is celebration and festivity in the moods of the devotees
who wait for hours in long serpentine queues for a moment's
glance of the deity.
