Just across the river, Sonepur Mela — one of Asia's oldest and largest cattle fairs — comes alive every November–December on the confluence of the Ganga and Gandak. Elephants, horses, folk theatre, crafts and a month-long carnival spirit.
In monsoon (Jul–Aug), the Shrawani Mela draws millions of saffron-clad kanwariyas carrying Ganga water to Deoghar — an unforgettable river of faith. We'll help you time your visit and travel safely.
