Situated on the confluence of two of India’s divine rivers –Ganges and Gandak, Sonepur is a breathtaking hamlet. Each year, during Kartik Poornima, it sees a swarm of visitors flocking to its territory to view, capture and participate in the Sonepur Mela – an ethereal extravaganza. Pertaining to cattle and commodities, it showcases the cultural diversity of the land. Asia’s largest cattle fair, it usually occurs in November.
