AGARTALA, Jan 13 (TIWN): The 2 day long Trirthamukh fair has begun on the occasion of Makar Sankaranti.

Every year, both tribal and non-tribal people assemble every year on the occasion of the Makar Sankranti for a holy dip in the river Gomati at its place of origination, known as Tirthamukh.

The devotees take a holy dip in the river on the day which marks the commencement of the Sun's northern course- the last day of the month of Pousa (middle of the month January).  

More than 200 stalls have been set up at Tirthamukh on this occasion.

Reportedly, like every year this year also there is huge rush of people in that fair.
