People of different communities and classes from nearby regions come to enjoy this Janmashtami Lok Mela in large numbers. The fair is a major attraction for visitors due to its cultural programs, folk dances, music, Handlooms and Handicrafts and Janmashtami Sankranth.
Half a century ago, Wadhwan Rajvi started the fair at the railway station ground to highlight the cultural tradition of the city. After Tarnetar Mela, Wadhwan's Janmashtami Lokmelo is famous worldwide. The Wadhwan fair has become a unique legacy of folk dhadakkan.
The charm of mela is the same as the ancient times, colorful with joy in the morning and shining with lights at night.
