The green new moon — the city goes to the lake to look at the rain

On its dates only Living AttendWalk

Practised for its own sake by the community that carries it. A visitor is a guest, not the reason it happens.

The Shravan new moon, marking the arrival of green after the first rains, kept in Udaipur as a two-day fair by Fateh Sagar — the second day traditionally for women only. It is a monsoon festival in a place that spent nine months waiting for the monsoon, which is the entire explanation.

When: Annual — dates not yet resolved Shravan Amavasya — the new moon of the month of Shravan. Falls in July or August. Gregorian dates NOT yet resolved. See the note on Gangaur; the same generation job covers both.
