When to visit
Nagpur has a tropical climate, with hot weather year-round. The dry, slightly cooler months of Nov–Jan are a popular time to visit. The hottest months (Mar–May), when temperatures can be extremely high, are followed by the rainy season (Jun–Sep). During the festival of Marbat (Aug/Sep), huge clay statues are paraded through the streets and burned to symbolically banish evil spirits. Many pilgrims visit Deekshabhoomi on Ashok Vijaya Dashmi (Oct 14), which honors the day in 1956 when thousands of people converted to Buddhism.
