Kansaryagarh is located 5 km from Shepuamba, a village on Subir-Pipaldahad road. It is a site for Kanasari Devi and Dungardev puja. Located on the border of Dangs and Tapi district, the place lies in the Reserved Forest Compartment No. 17 of Subir range of North Dangs Forest Division.

Every year a large mela is organized on each full moon day of October and November. People flock in large number from the surrounding villages and revere Kanasaridevi, goddess of corn, by offering cereals like nagli, varai, rice and banti and pulse like udad. Any stone from their field is installed under a tree and worshipped as goddess Kanasari. Bhaya dance is performed as a part of worship of ‘Dungardev’. Both the sites (Kanasari Devi and Dungardev) are located adjacent to each other. People offer Prasad to both the Gods and worship, eat and dance through the night.
