History and legend of Baneshwar Fair
The Baneshwar fair of Rajasthan, in its present form is actually a combination of two fairs: one which used to be conducted in honour of Baneshwar Mahadev (Lord Shiva) and another fair which started after the construction of the Vishnu temple by Jankunwari, daughter-in-law of Mavji, a highly admired saint considered to be an living form of Lord Vishnu.
Two followers of Mavji named Aje and Vaje construct the Lakshmi- Narain Temple near the convergence of rivers Som and Mahi. On Magh Shukla Ekadashi the 'pran-pratishtha' ceremony of the idols was performed and since then, the fair is held on this day. The large audience that gathers here at the time of the fair pays respect to all the deities with equal respect.
The Baneshwar fair of Rajasthan is mainly a tribal fair with more than half of the people attending worship consisting of Bhils. They admire Baneshwar Mahadev as well as Mavji. The majority of the assembly is from the Districts of Dungarpur, Udaipur and Banswara of Rajasthan.
