Every
November, the famous Pushkar Fair is held for
7 days, starts on Naomi, finishes on Kartik Poornima
(Full Moon). Thousands of pilgrims throng the lake
during the annual cattle fair and on the full moon
of Kartik take a holy dip in the lake.
It is one of the most colorful fairs of India and
is one of the major cultural reflectors of the state
of Rajasthan. Besides trading of horses, camels, cows
and bulls, there are exciting camel-cart races and
cultural events, people from different parts of India
gather on the fair ground to participate in the various
entertaining events. The vriety of folk dances and
songs lend vivid splashes of colour and music to the
atmosphere that is already charged with excitement
of the camel races and the cattle fair. The bargaining
process, which involves a great deal of haggling between
the camel traders and the buyers, add to the spirit
of the fair. This fair attracts people not only from
India but a large number of tourists from other countries
as well. This fair is the largest camel market, where
spirited people come to partake in the business activities.
Apart from camels, horses and bullocks are also sold
here.
During the festival, the town comes alive with activity,
where people in their colourful attires hunt around
for bargains and are engaged in striking deals in
the camel market. A number of competitions and a host
of cultural programs are staged to enthrall the audience.
Besides all this, mouth-watering delicacies and the
festive, traditional local music contribute to enhance
the colourful and cheerful moods of Rajasthan. |
