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.
