Minjar is a seasonal fair of Chamba for celebrating the rains and the
flowering of maize. It is held in August. People from all parts
of Chamba and even from other areas of Himachal Pradesh travel long distance
to watch the week-long celebrations. Besides the famous folk-dances of
Gaddis, there are plentiful music and trade. On the concluding day the
devotees offer Minjars (maize flowers) and coconuts to god Varuna at Ravi
river.
