F a i r s & F e s t i v a l s Pushkar Fair
It is an occasion for villagers from far and near to gather together and enjoy a welcome break from their harsh life of the arid desert. And enjoy they do! In dazzling style and colors. It is an occasion for Hindu pilgrims to converge for a holy dip in the sacred Pushkar Lake to "wash away the sins of a lifetime" and pay obeisa |
Every November, the sleepy little township of
Pushkar in Rajasthan, India comes alive with a riot of colors and a
frenzied burst of activity. The occasion: PUSHKAR FAIR. Very
few, if at all any, fairs in the world can match the liveliness of Pushkar.
Most people associate the Pushkar Fair with the world's largest camel
fair. But it is much more than that.
