The name Beneshwar is derived from the revered Shiva Linga which is kept in the Mahadev temple in Dungarpur. "Beneshwar" means the 'master of the delta' in the local Vagdi language and this name was given to the Shiva Linga. The Beneshwar fair is held at a small delta formed by the river Som and mahi, from magh Shukla Ekadashi to magh Shukla Poornima.

View of the Temple :
The priest called the Mathadish, arrives at the fair site from Sabha, in huge procession. A 16 cms. silver image of Mavji on horseback is also brought here. The river water supposedly becomes holier when the Mathadish takes a bath. Prayers are offered five times a day in the temples of Lakshmi-Narayana and Brahma. Brass gongs are struck at the time of aarti. During the fair, aarti of Mathadish is also performed and Raslila takes place at night in the Lakshmi Narayana temple.
