Celebrating Rajasthan
Rajasthan has one of the most colorful and vibrant deserts in the world. The great Thar Desert has much to offer through a plethora of celebrations. Festivals and fairs, music and dance, are a part of life in the State as well as in the desert. The year long festive fervour and cattle marts turn into delightful fairs. Festivals hold an unusual lure for the Rajasthanis and they have any number of reasons to celebrate.
Pageantry is in the form of weddings or rituals, or to promote trade. Each region has their own form of folk entertainment, traditions, dialects adding to the Indian diversity. Some of the fairs are: Pushkar Fair, Desert festival, Elephant Festival and Camel festival. Having attained international repute, they are not to be missed.
These festivals born out of age-old traditions, adorn the land with innumerable hues. Colours that are alive and unrestricted, and unify each soul who visits this magic land. These celebrations are characterized by rhythm, jest and passion. The spirit of romance, valour are all too apparent in some of the festivals.
