PUSHKAR FESTIVAL (November)
Experience one of India’s most fascinating festivals,
the annual Pushkar Fair in Rajasthan. Every year,
thousands of Rajasthani village converge in this
picturesque town to buy and sell camels and other
cattle. They come for the entertaining camel-races and
local circuses. Crowds of village folk also browse the
local markets for camel saddles, textiles, glass
bangles, and silver jewelry. They wash away the day’s
fatigue at the Pushkar Lake (considered sacred by
Hindus). Beyond the bustle of the market is the sweeping
expanse of desert, dotted with thousands of camping
families. All around, there is a riot of color and
throng of warm, joyous faces.
The Cattle Fair at Pushkar
takes place every year in the picturesque town of
Pushkar. Pushkar is located 150 Kms from Jaipur and is a
3 hour 30 minutes drive through a comfortable highway.
Tented Camps are erected during the Pushkar Fair as the
town does not have enough hotels to accommodate the
large number of tourists who visit the festival.
