The spiritual aura is most palpable during the Meera Mahotsav, an annual celebration of Meera Bai’s life through music and poetry. Krishna Janmashtami is another significant festival celebrated here with great devotion, attracting pilgrims from across the country.Facilities and GuidelinesBeing a prominent part of the Chittorgarh Fort circuit, visitors can find basic facilities like drinking water and local guides nearby.
