On the auspicious occasion of Kali Chaudash in Vada village of Ogad taluka, a traditional Bhatigal Mela was held at the temple of Shri Dhatosana Hanuman Ji Dada, which is about 400 years old. On this occasion, lakhs of devotees of eighteen Alams from all over the diocese thronged to have a darshan of Dada. Every family member of the village felt blessed to have a darshan of Dada. On the occasion of the fair, the temple and Shri Ram Vatika were decorated in an attractive way by Dada's servants. Colorful flags on the streets, mango arches at the entrance, flower garlands and beautiful rangolis in the main square were the attractions. At night, the entire temple premises were illuminated with the light of lamps. In the fair, folk artists and musicians called for the dance of Dira. As part of the faith and tradition, the people of the eighteen Alams of Vada village on Kali Chaudash keep their business and employment closed. The farmers keep the tubewells closed and vehicles are also not rented. In a village with a population of more than 16,000, on this day, all the people come together to have darshan of Dada and give a unique message of unity, peace and cooperation. The villagers have been serving with their body, mind and money for years in the construction and maintenance of the temple and Shri Ram Vatika. This fair has become a symbol of religious faith and social unity of the village of Vada. The idol could not be lifted and installed in the village
According to folklore, the people of the Kandoi family of Sukhadia community from Bheenmal in Rajasthan were carrying the idol of Hanuman Ji to Thara on a camel. Meanwhile, Vada village rested. After that, when the idol could not be lifted while trying to place it on a camel, a temple was built and installed here.
