Madhavpur (Ghed) is a small but culturally significant village in the state of Gujarat, India. It lies on the seashore, in between Porbandar and Veraval. According to folklore, Krishna married Rukmini at Madhavpur after first kidnapping her. This event is memorialized with a temple dedicated to lord Madhavrai and by an annual fair held in the village. Every year, for five days from the day of Ram Navmi, a cultural fair is organized mainly on the background of religious belief of Krishna getting married to Rukmani. A colorful chariot is decorated and the idol of Krishna is placed in the chariot and a procession proceeds through the village as a part of celebrating the event of Krishna's marriage. Village people throw colors at each other as part of the celebration and also involve joyful dancing.
