Experience of Rajasthani
Culture
The Rajasthan is love for color and joyous
celebrations is proved by the elaborate rituals and the gay abandon with
which he surrenders himself to the numerous fairs and festivals of the
region. In addition to the festivals celebrated by the Hindus, Muslims and
others, there are also the traditional fairs.
There are animal fairs, there are religious fairs and there are fairs to
mark the changing seasons. In fact, celebrations occur almost round the
year and are a splendid opportunity for the visitor to gain an insight
into the life of the Rajasthani. Other than the traditional fairs,
recently established festivals, which involve elephants, camel races,
dance and music, have been specially organized for the tourists. Among the
better known fairs of Rajasthan are:
Nagaur Fair, Nagaur (January - February)
Essentially an animal fair, it provides an opportunity to participate in
some of the local sports.
