A National Musical Fair held annually during the last week of December
at Devi Talab about 11/2km from the railway station.
This Sammelan was started by Baba Harballabh in memory of his Guru Swami
Tulja Giri in 1875 and is still going strong even after 130years. Shree
Baba Harballabh Sangeet Sammelan is the oldest festival of Indian Classical
Music in the world. The best of the country's exponents of instrumental
and vocal classical music gather here for the Sammelan. People from all
walks of life look forward to attend this rare gathering of musicians.
Mahatma Gandhi had attended this fair in 1929. It is one of the premier
musical fairs in North India. The Government of India has recognized this
festival as one of the National
Festivals of Music.
