In the month of January or February the Baneshwar Fair is held. The worship of the Shiva linga precedes the fair. Baneshwar Fair is basically held by the Bhills, a tribal community of Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh Rajasthan. People of the same community from the neighboring states of also participate in the fair. Baneshwar refers to the Shiva Linga. It is kept in the Mahadev temple in Dungarpur. Baneshwar literally means `master of the delta` in the Vagdi language. The location of the fair ground is at Sabla Village. It is reachable from Udaipur, Banswara and Dungarpur by road.

The fair site is the delta region formed by rivers Som and Mahi. The fair continues from Magh Shukla Ekadashi to Magh Shukla Poornima during Shivratri. Nowadays two fairs have been merged to celebrate the Baneshwar Fair in Rajasthan. Previously two separate fairs were held. One was held in the name of the revered Baneshwar Mahadev or Lord Shiva. The other was held for Lord Vishnu after the construction of the Vishnu Temple. Most of the people that take part in the fair are from Dungarpur, Udaipur and Banswara. These are the regions where the Bhill community is found in large numbers.

As far as the procedure of the worship is concerned the Shiva linga is bathed and then aarti is performed with incense sticks. Bhabhut or ash is applied on the Shiva linga in the evening. Again an aarti is performed but this time with fine-wick lamp. Offerings are made in the form of rice, wheat, pulses, coconut, ghee, flour, jaggery, salt and chilies. Cash is offered.

At the fair merry go-rounds, giant wheels and pother joy rides are arranged for. Traditional folk songs and dances are also arranged for. Both the children and adults can also enjoy the magic shows, acrobatic deeds and animal shows at the Baneshwar Fair in Rajasthan.
