Sinjara Festival in Jaipur Draws 1.8 Million Visitors and 3.5 Tons of Henna

In September 2026, the Moti Dungri Ganesh Temple located in Jaipur, Rajasthan, India, became the center of a massive cultural and religious gathering as it hosted the traditional Sinjara festival. The temple premises experienced an unprecedented influx of visitors, drawing an estimated 1.8 million devotees and spectators who came to participate in the auspicious celebrations.

As part of the festivities, a massive quantity of henna was arranged for the attendees. Specifically, approximately 3,500 kilograms—equivalent to three and a half metric tons—of traditional henna was transported directly from Sojat, a region in Rajasthan renowned for its high-quality henna production.

The distribution of the Sojat henna proved to be extraordinarily swift amidst the dense crowds. Organizers and volunteers managed to distribute the entire stock of 3,500 kilograms of henna to the eager participants in a remarkably short span of just three hours.

The sheer scale of the September 2026 event underscored the immense popularity and cultural significance of the Sinjara festival at the Moti Dungri Ganesh Temple. With 1.8 million people converging on the sacred site, the gathering stands out as a major mass participation event in the region for the year.
