The Baneshwar fair is predominantly a tribal fair with more than half of the congregation consisting of Bhils. They revere Baneshwar Mahadev as well as Mavji. The majority of the gathering is from the Districts of Dungarpur, Udaipur and Banswara. The temple of Baneshwar Mahadev remains open from 5.00 a.m. to 11.00 p.m. during the fair. In the morning, saffron is applied to the Shiva Linga after it is bathed and an aarti of burning incense is waved before it.
Devotees offer wheat flour, pulses, rice, jaggery, ghee, salt, chillies, coconut and cash.
Prayers are offered five times a day in the temples of Lakshmi -Narayana and Brahma. Brass gongs are struck at the time of aarti. During the fair, aarti of Mathadhish is also performed and Raslila takes place at night in the Lakshmi Narayana temple. Offerings, similar to those at the Baneshwar temple, are made at these shrines too. The Bhils attending Baneshwar Fair sing traditional folk songs in high pitched voices sitting around a bonfire every night.
