vautha

The meeting place of 7 rivers, Vautha is the site for one of the major livestock fairs that take place during the Kartika Poornima period. The camel mart takes place on the rivershores, with brilliantly decorated camels brought here for sale, and the donkey mart in the fields adjoining the fair. The donkeys are gaily painted to attract buyers. Several thousand donkeys and a few hundred camels are sold during the fairs. This is place to see rakishly turbaned herdspeople, with their livestock. Bazaars, ferris wheels and sugar cane juice vendors can be seen at the Vautha fair ground.

Other important fairs on Kartika Poornima, are the tribal fair of Shamlaji, the religious fair at Somnath and the camel fair at Siddhapur.
