Dadri Mela is the second largest cattle fair of India. The fair starts on the full moon of the month of Kartik (October–November) with a holy dip in the Ganges River. This fair is held annually in the honour of Dadar Muni, the disciple of Maharishi Bhrigu. This fair is celebrated for more than one month and is organised in two phases. The first phase starts before 10 days of Kartik Poornima (full moon) in which traders bring some excellent hybrids of cattle from across India for sale/purchase. On or after Kartik Poornima, various cultural programs are organised and one can find shops of different items at one stop during the next fortnight.
