Sundernagar Nalwar Mela is celebrated from 22nd March to 28th March of every year. The idea was motivated by a shortage of the good breed cattle, especially bullocks, which are so important for agriculture and are a prominent feature of the economy of the hilly terrain. In this Nalwar Mela cattles are purchased and sold on a large number. A cattle buyer looks for the healthiest cattle, while a seller wants to make sure that he gets the best prices for the cattles he is selling. Beside this, other different types of shops are installed in this fair. People from different parts of Himachal Pradesh and other states used to bring bullocks of good breed. In this Mela different types of games eg. kabaddi, wrestling, half Marathon etc. are the attractions. In evening, different types of cultural programs are presented by the local artists and Bollywood stars.

State Level Devta Mela starts from Shukla Panchami to Shukla Navami of Chaitra Month, according to lunar religious calendar at the ground of Jawahar Park, Sundernagar. King Luxman Sen of Suket Empire started this Traditional Devta Mela in 1923. Kings of Suket Empire was welcomed the famous and ancient Deities at that time, but now Mela Committee, Sundernagar made necessary arrangements very efficiently and effectively. Five-day long Traditional Devta Mela begins with the pooja of Mahunag, the main Deity of old Suket Estate (now Sundernagar).
