To facilitate limited trade outside the fairgrounds, the district administration has identified a temporary site for meat and fish sales near the end of the Jalal Bridge, on the left side of the Tirmali-Dayad road.
Shri Renuka Ji Fair, one of Himachal Pradesh’s most prominent religious gatherings, celebrates the divine meeting of Lord Parshuram with his mother, Goddess Renuka.
