The Kangra Festival is held in June at Kangra.
At Solan, on the third Sunday of the month, the Shoolini fair is held in honour of the goddess Shoolini, the presiding deity of the region.
On June's full moon night, the Ghantal festival is held at Lahaul's Guru Ghantal Monastery.
In the Mandi district, the Saranhuli fair is held in honour of Dev Kamrunag in the Chachiot tehsil. An unusual aspect of the fair is that all the offerings are made in the lake nearthe temple.
