Page 4 of 5 Harballabh Sangeet Sammelan, Devi Talab A National Musical Fair held annually during the last week of December at Devi Talab about 11/2km from the railway station. This Sammelan was started by Baba Harballabh in memory of his Guru Swami Tulja Giri in 1875 and is still going strong even after 128years. The best of the country's exponents of instrumental and vocal classical music gather here for the Sammelan. People from all walks of life look forward to attend this rare gathering of musicians. Mahatma Gandhi had attended this fair in 1929. It is one of the premier musical fairs in North India.
The Fair of Baba Sodal is held to memorialize the death anniversary of Sodal, a local child deity. Every year in the month of Bhadon i.e in mid-September, a fair is held at the Smadh of Baba Sodal. In side the smadh, there is a painted portrait of Baba Sodal kept decorated with garlands and rosaries. The offering here are distributed among the pilgrims and they sprinkle a few drops on their body. |
