    Another angle is the annual Banjari fair that starts on the new moon day of the month of Ashadha. It attracts traders from nearby districts and the procession of the idol around the village dates back to the 18th century Maratha campaigns. If you’re staying near Raipur, Hukam’s Lalit Mahal is only about 15 kilometres away and can give you a quick base to explore the temple and the fair. Have you heard about the local legends linking the fair to the goddess’s protection of the region?
