Fair of Adinath

Moheshkhali is an island under Cox's Bazar district not very far from the mainland. There, the Adinath temple at the top of Mainak hillock is a place of worship for Hindu devotees. A landlord named Nur Mohammad Shikdar donated 200 acres of land to reconstruct the age-old AdinathTemple. The fair associated with the temple started at that time. Every year in the Bengali month of Falgun, especially during Krishnapakkha, the thirteen days fair is held at the foot of the hillock on land facing the vast sea. The sweet water of green coconuts especially grown in this place is the most attractive and popular drink. Devotees and visitors to the fair drink it before worshipping the goddess of Adinath.
