Ratha Yatra held in month of Asardh according to Bengali calendar (June – July)
Another attractive fair takes place in celebration of Ratha-yatra of Sri Sri Madan Mohan in Cooch Behar , quite similar to the Ratha-yatra of Sri Sri Jagannath at Puri (in Orissa). In beautifully decorated Raths (big chariots) Sri Sri Madan Mohan rides from main temple to his maternal aunt's house at Gunjabari (within the city) to stay there for one week. Again on the day of Ulta-Rath celebrations (i.e., after one week) the holy idol is ridden back to the main Madan Mohan temple. All throughout these seven days of HIS visit, great fair takes place at the main temple campus and at Gunjabari. As per existing records, the holy shrine of Sri Sri Madan Mohan was established in 1893 after construction of the Madan Mohan temple-house to the North of Bairagi Dighi in the heart of Cooch Behar city. Since then Ratha-yatra used to take place besides Bairagi Dighi till 1921-22. Afterwards the fair was extended into two parts. At present this fair is also celebrated with pomp & glory at Gunjabari for seven days.

The temple of the royal-deity ‘Sri Sri Madan Mohan' was built in every sub-divisional town/city during the reign of the ‘Koch' Maharajas and Ratha-yatra is celebrated in all those towns/cities.

During monarchy, the ‘Ratha' (chariot) used to parade out with royal status and grandeur from main temple to Gunjabari. The procession used to be headed by beautifully decorated elephants, followed by royal army, police teams, police bands, etc. Then numerous devotees used to follow tugging off the Ratha-rashi (rope for pulling the chariot). In the wake of bygone days, the district has lost its monarchy, royal codes & conducts along with the royal enthusiasm of celebrating the fair. Yet still Sri Sri Madan Mohan visits his aunt's riding gloriously in chariot driven by thousands of devotees. The pomp of such celebrations is no less enjoyable. The royal clarity of the fair may have been lost in due course, but still now presence of ‘Gilipi' (a kind of Bengali sweet) and ‘Latka' fruit in lots mark the unchanged spirit of celebrations of the fair. It is true that in today's fair one would not find the famous fishing rods and toys built of ‘shola' (thermocol). Product gallery found in this fair has changed according to people's present needs & tastes. Yet what has still remained a unique attraction of the fair are the village handicrafts. Notably this fair is the second long lasting fair.

Baradebi Mela
After Ratha-yatra comes the four-day long celebration of worship of Sri Sri Baradebi (Sri Sri Durga) at Devibari of Cooch Behar Town. This fair is an outstanding one among the age-old fairs and notable as well. Though there is enough controversy relating to the origin of this fair, as per Jainath Munshi's book ‘Rajopakhyan', the temple of Baradevi was established in the 16th century and likewise this fair is supposed to be held from that time onwards. Presently the extent and diversity of celebration of this fair has faded away. In the past there used to be on display many things like the royal throne, royal bedstead, royal scepter in a room adjacent to the temple for the common people for 5 days (from Sasthi to Dasami). In those days these royal symbols used to be the added attractions of the fair. These displays are not to be seen nowadays.
