Bharwain: Accommodation near the Chintpurni Festival

For an overnight stay in Bharwain, it is helpful to distinguish it from nearby Chintpurni. The Chintpurni Festival, locally called Mata Da Mela, takes place in the village of Chintpurni, about 3 km west of Bharwain. If you are traveling for the festival, plan with two locations in mind: Bharwain as your place to stay and Chintpurni as the festival venue.

Chintpurni Festival: Duration and Dates

The festival lasts nine days during Navratras and ten days during Sawan. It therefore lasts one day longer during Sawan than during Navratras. The exact dates vary according to the lunar calendar. For planning purposes, consider the duration and calendar dates separately: the number of days indicates how long the festival runs during the respective period, while its specific calendar dates can change. Check the dates for the relevant year if your trip is planned around Mata Da Mela, before deciding when to visit and stay overnight.

Facilities in the Chintpurni Area

Toilet facilities have been built at a total of five locations in the Chintpurni area, including the Bharwain parking lot, Mirgu, Chintpurni, Hospital Road, and the two blocks near Shiv Mandir Chintpurni. The Bharwain parking lot is therefore one of several named locations; the information relates to the wider area, not just Bharwain. If you plan to use a particular facility, note its specific location name. Check the facility’s current condition before visiting.

For pilgrims, rain shelters have been built at eight points along roads or paths. In addition, Tialas have been built at two locations beneath banyan trees. The locations listed together are Mubarikpur, Sidh Chalehar, Kinnu, Bharwain, Mirgu, the stepped path to Talab, the old Chintpurni bus station, and the cremation ground. The locations include Bharwain as well as other points in the Chintpurni area. The eight points refer to the rain shelters; the two locations with Tialas are additional. When finding your way, it is also helpful to distinguish between the shelters along roads or paths and the Tialas beneath banyan trees.

Bharwain also appears in the combined list of locations for rain shelters and Tialas. However, the facilities are not limited to Bharwain: several locations in the Chintpurni area are listed for toilet facilities and facilities for pilgrims. If you plan to use a particular facility, refer to its specific location name rather than just the general area description.

Accommodation in Bharwain

H.P. Tourism Hotel Chintpurni Heights and the HPPWD Rest House are located in Bharwain. Although the hotel has Chintpurni in its name, it is located in Bharwain; the Rest House is also there. Check the current availability of your preferred property for your dates before traveling. If you are planning your stay around Mata Da Mela, compare your dates with the festival dates.

For a festival visit, timing and location are two separate considerations: the lunar calendar helps you identify the relevant period, while the location details distinguish Bharwain from the festival venue in Chintpurni and identify individual places in the wider area. This allows you to coordinate your accommodation in Bharwain, the festival days, and your preferred facility.
