Siddhanath Mahadev Yatra at Khargone is observed in
Bhadrapad month. On this day the murti worshipped in the Sidhnath Mahadev
Temple comes out of temple in traditional attire to interact with devotees – Mahadev Sidhnath. In 2024, this ritual at Khargone is held on August 21.
After the abhishek and puja in the temple, Shri Siddhanath
Mahadev comes out and settles in a designated place in the temple.
After prayers performed here Shri Siddhanath Mahadev moves
out into the city. Nagada, Janja-manjira and dol tashe is played on the
occasion. People chant the name of Mahadev as he makes his way through the
crowd.
It takes nearly 20 hours to complete the entire
process of the tour of the town.

Bhadrapada Krishna Paksha Dwitiya Tithi or the second day during the waxing
phase of moon in Bhadrapad month as per traditional Hindu lunar calendar
followed in Madhya Pradesh.
