Champaran, formerly known as Champajhar, is a village in the Raipur District in state of Chhattisgarh, India. It is about 60 km from the state capital of Raipur via Arang. The village is identified with Champaranya and therefore has religious significance as the birth place of the Saint Vallabhacharya, the reformer and founder of the Vallabh Sect. A beautiful temple has been constructed in his honour. Near this is a temple of Champakeshwara Mahadeva. But the greatest attraction of Champaran is its Annual Fair, which is held with great fanfare in the month of Magh (January - February), every year. Another attraction of Champaran is the birthday celebrations of the saint Vallabhacharya on 11th day of Baisakh (April-May) when thousands of devotees assemble at the temple to pay their homage to the holy soul.
