Nestled amidst the towering pines and the majestic Himalayan ranges, Naggar, once the regal capital of Kullu, comes alive with the vibrant Naggar Mela. This year, from May 18th to May 24th, the quaint town of Naggar transforms into a bustling hub of culture, tradition, and celebration1.
A Celebration of Divine and Earthly Spirits
The Naggar Mela is not just a fair; it’s a spiritual journey that honors the local deity, Tripura Sundari. The air fills with the rhythmic beats of traditional instruments as the locals carry ornate palanquins, weaving through the streets in a divine procession that culminates in the sacred grounds near the temple.
Dance, Music, and Merrymaking
As the palanquins arrive, the ground near the temple bursts into a kaleidoscope of colors with Natti troupes performing folk dances. The mela is a perfect opportunity for visitors to witness the exuberance of Himachali culture through these enthralling performances.
A Feast for the Senses
The Naggar Mela is also a gastronomic delight. Local delicacies, aromatic spices, and traditional Himachali cuisine await those eager to indulge in the flavors of the mountains. From tangy pickles to hearty dals, every dish tells a story of the rich culinary heritage of the region.
Crafting Memories
Artisans from across Himachal Pradesh gather to showcase their crafts. Handwoven shawls, intricate wood carvings, and vibrant paintings are just a few treasures you’ll find here. Each piece is a testament to the skill and artistry that has been passed down through generations.
