Tarmetar Fair (August 2008 An exciting and unique three day fair held annually at Tarmetar in Saurashtra, Gujarat. It is the most colourful event in this state. The fair coincides with the festival at the Trineteshwar temple (three-eyed God Shiva), celebrating the wedding of the legendary “Mahabarata (epic)” heros, Arjuna with Draupadi. Like all-important tribal fairs, it is attended by tribes who indulge in dancing, competitive sports and other such forms of entertainment. There are over 300 stalls selling food, refreshments, exhibiting embroidery items and a cattle shows as well. The tribal youth visit the Tarmetar Mela to find themselves suitable brides. Another distinctive feature of the fair is the “Tarmetar Chhatri (Umbrella)”. These umbrellas are a delightful treat for the connoisseur of art. The umbrellas meticulously embellished with mirror work, intricate embroidery and enchanting lacework are worth seeing.
