Helpful post! I was actually planning to take part in the Baneshwar Fair Dungarpur 2020. I thought that it was a 2 or 3-day affair. I am glad to know that it will be conducted for 5 days. This will help me in preparing a good itinerary to explore Rajasthan & relish The Maha Kumbh Of Tribals with my best friend.
