 Rajasthan, the Royal State Of India, has an extraordinary
wealth of rich traditions, cultures, rituals, fair and festivals,
which makes it one of the most beautiful destinations for travel
enthusiasts. There are several festivals that brighten the otherwise
hectic and difficult lives of the villagers of the desert land. The
colorful land boasts of many festivals like Marwar Festival, Nagaur
Fair, Pushkar Fair, Gangaur Festival, Elephant Festival, Mewar
Festival, etc.
One of the most popular and charismatic festivals is Pushkar Fair,
which is celebrated with great zest and zeal. The festival held once
a year in the month of Kartik in winters (bright half of the moon)
is popular worldwide and attracts tourists from every part of the
globe. Camels are bought, sold, beautified and raced by villagers
and most unusual is groups of men and women seen busy tattooing
their hands in this fair. A plethora of fair and festivals born out
of age-old traditions hold an unusual lure for Rajasthanis.
