Nagaur district is the land of fairs as they are not only cattle markets but in real terms a way of life. The rural people participate in these fairs very eagerly as if they are big social events & in addition to the cattle routine things from needles to nails are also available in these events. Fairs infact are the true face of rustic rural Rajasthan & are a strong witness of its social harmony.
The second largest fair held every year in the month of Shrawan at Parbatsar. It is primarily a cattle fair but routine things are also bought & sold. Its history dates back to pre-Independence.
