The fair is held in the month of September at the Nanda Devi temple of Almora that was built during the reign of Raja Udhyot Chand. The fair has great religious and cultural significance as it is held in memory of Goddesses Nanda and Sunanda. The fair traces its origin to the reign of Raja Kalyan Chand in the 16th Century that makes it all the more important, historically. |
