A traditional annual donkey market was held in Jejuri, Maharashtra, coinciding with religious gatherings. Donkeys, primarily Kathiawari breeds from Rajasthan, were sold through bidding, with prices ranging from ₹60,000 to ₹1.5 lakh. Traders, some with multi-generational experience, brought hundreds of donkeys from various states for industrial use, religious rituals, and milk sales. Historically a large event, the market has seen a decline due to government restrictions on caste councils, though it still generates significant turnover.
