Festivals

Since Hisar is a major administrative and educational hub (home to HAU and GJU), November 1st is celebrated with significant state pride.

This unique regional festival honors Gugga Pir, a local folk deity believed to protect against snake bites. It is celebrated in August or September.

Teej marks the arrival of the monsoon in July or August. In Hisar, this is primarily a “festival of swings.”

Located just outside the main city at the ancient site of Agroha, this is one of the most significant religious and cultural gatherings for the Agrawal community. It takes place during Sharad Purnima (usually October).

Particularly vibrant in the Hisar and Sirsa regions, Gangaur is dedicated to Goddess Gauri (Parvati). It is celebrated in March or April (Chet Sudi-3) by women who pray for the well-being of their husbands or for a good spouse.
