Sonepur Cattle Fair

SONEPUR, BIHAR, INDIA - 2014/11/09: Indian men watch young ladies dancing on stage after paying for tickets at Sonepur fair. The Sonepur Cattle Fair is the largest cattle fair in Asia and begins every year on the full moon day of November on the confluence of river Ganges and Gandak at Sonepur in Bihar, India. It has its origins during ancient times and is also known as Harihar Kshetra Mela. It stretches from fifteen days to one month drawing visitors from India and abroad. Though all kinds of products (ranging from garments and furniture to cars and weapons) are sold here the main attraction centers around various breeds of animals and birds. There are separate areas where horses, cows, buffalos are bought and sold. Elephants are also traded but not directly as there has been a ban on buying and selling of elephants.
