Gujarat's Tarnetar fair at the Trinetreshwar Mahadev temple in Tarnetar village is held annually for three days in August-September.
Gujarat's Tarnetar fair, which attracts a large number of tourists from across India and abroad, will not be held for the second year in a row this year due to the coronavirus situation, a senior official said on Saturday. The annual fair at the Trinetreshwar Mahadev temple in Tarnetar village is held annually for three days in August-September. "But it has been cancelled this year as well due to the prevailing pandemic situation and the Gujarat government's latest COVID-19 notification that prohibits gathering of more than 400 people in a public programme," Surendranagar district collector A K Aurangabadkar said. The state notification allows all temples to remain open for prayers and other rituals, but devotees will have to follow the COVID-19 norms, he said.
