Sri Muktsar Sahib, Punjab
The Punjab government's horse and livestock fair (Ghoda Mandi) is held alongside the Maghi Mela on a 70-acre site at the Industrial Focal Point, Lambi Dhab, on the Guruharsahai road just outside Sri Muktsar Sahib. It draws Marwari and Nukra breeders and traders from across north India, while the town's gurdwaras host the Maghi Mela pilgrimage in mid-January.
- 70-acre open fairground with horse and livestock lines
- Veterinary dispensary and round-the-clock animal health team during the fair
- Livestock displays and trading areas
- Open parking around the fairground
Good to know: Mid-January mornings are cold and foggy in the Malwa region; the late morning and early afternoon are the best time to see horses shown and traded.
