Chitrakoot in Winter (November - February)

The beginning of winter is a pleasant time to visit Chitrakoot, as the weather is great in November and December. With clear skies and balmy days, Chitrakoot is a delight in December. However, January and February bring fog and chills to the region, so it is recommended that you check with local authorities before visiting Chitrakoot as the fog hampers visibility and driving becomes difficult. If you plan on visiting Chitrakoot in winter, book your accommodation beforehand as the highest number of tourists visit this region during these months.

October/November sees the festival of Navratri, a nine-night celebration that culminates with Dussehra, a festival commemorating the triumph of the Hindu Goddess Durga over evil. The entire city comes alive with festivities during this time, with beautiful idols being painted and taken out in processions. A few weeks after Dussehra comes Diwali, the Hindu Festival of Lights. Chitrakoot is famous for its grand celebration of Diwali, with the entire district being decked up with lights and oil lamps. Deep Daan rituals are also held. A stunning firework show lights up the region at night, and special prayers are conducted to commemorate the return of the Hindu God Ram to Ayodhya after defeating the Demon King Ravana. Stroll by the Mandakini River and be part of the festivities of Diwali.

In January, Makar Sankranti is celebrated with enthusiasm and pomp by the locals. This harvest festival is dedicated to the Sun, thanking him for a good bounty. Kite flying events are also held on a small scale. After Mahashivratri in January/February, the much-awaited Ramayan Mela is held for an entire week. This is the most popular festival in Chitrakoot, with competitions, art and dance shows and folk performances being held every day. Prominent leaders also address the events. Be part of the celebrations and rejoice with the locals as you indulge in the riot of colours and joy! The local fairs and carnivals set up during Ramayan Mela are a delight to be in, with games and local market stalls. Buy handicrafts and souvenirs for your loved ones too.
