Legend of Khatu Shyam temple Lakhi fair
There is a religious belief that when Shri Krishna asked for a head from Barbarik, Barbarik performed bhajans throughout the night and after taking a bath on the Shukla Dwadashi date of Phalgun month, he performed the ritual worship. After this, Barbarik cut off his head and gave it to Lord Krishna. It is believed that that is why Lakhi fair is organized every year.
