At Pancheshwar the dola of Chaumu comes down to the temple. The fair at Bageshwar attracts maximum people. Its commercial, cultural and political importance is still very high. Goods like iron and copper pots, baskets, casks, bamboo articles, mats, mattresses, carpets, blankets, herbs and spices are sold during this fair.
The Uttarayani fairs are often used as platforms by social and political workers and the Bageshwar fair specially has played an important role in all the local movements, as also in the freedom movement. In 1921 activists had given a call for the eventual eradication of the system of bonded labour known as coolie begar. In 1929 Gandhi ji came to Bageshwar. Many freedom fighters and folk singers have been closely associated with the Bageshwar fair. Even today the fair attracts a large number of people, who spend the whole night dancing and singing Jhoras, Chancharis and Bairas.

जौयां मुरली एक
लुप्त होती विरासत-
पहाड़ में झरने
के किनारे किसी
पत्थर पर बैठ कभी
मुरली की मधुर
धुन बजा ग्वाले
खुद में खो जाया
करते थे। गायें
भी उनकी बदलती
धुनों का इशारा
समझ शाम ढलते खुद
घर की राह पकड़
लेती थीं। बदलते
दौर के साथ इस विरासत
पर भी संकट गहरा
गया है।
