Chaturshringi Fair, Pune, India Phone: Not AvailableAbout
Another of the highlights in Pune's cultural diary is the Chaturshringi Fair. This fair is held annually during the Navratri festival at the foothill of Chaturshringhi Temple on Senapati Bapat Road. This temple is dedicated to Goddess Durga.The fair is an overnight one and starts after dusk. Huge crowds visit the fair throughout its stay.Very similar to a village fair, villagers from near and around come in numbers. Balloon shooting stalls, bangles, rides and artworks provide a good entertainment to the villagers. The festival is very popular amongst the people in the city and around with adults to college students, all patronising it. It's a good chance for foreigners to get a feel of the villages here and their fairs. The half of Senapati Bapat Road towards University road is absolutely blocked with the fair. Night traffic is diverted and arrangements are made for parking and walking. One can see many auto-rickshaws and six-seaters plying to and for throughout the night.
