Happy Hours: Rajasthani fairs and festivals

 MEASURES IN RAJASTHAN

 

Hosting trade shows is a way for people to socialize, create business opportunities, and enjoy the spirit of unity in Rajasthan. These are some of the fairs that take place in different cities of Rajasthan.

 




1. PUSHKAR FAIR

 

The largest fair in all of Rajasthan takes place mainly in the months of October or November in the small town of Pushkar. Pushkar ka Mela, as it is better known, is the picturesque of the culture, tradition and art of Rajasthani. Rajasthan tourism is best exhibited with this type of vacation. The bold use of colors, the cheerful atmosphere and the pride in the residents' faces create an irresistible atmosphere in which to break out.

 

The main attractions of the fair are:

 

Camel Races - Thousands of camels are sold, decorated, and competed for the crowd. Camels also seem to value fanfare.

 

Mustache: The public display of exceptionally large mustaches by men from all over Rajasthan inspires viewers with awe.

 

Ghoomer - one of the most fascinating folk dances in India. The energetic but quick, gentle and graceful movements of the performers let every foot around the performance touch the music.

 

The traditional clothing style of men and women is attractive to the eye. The colorful but huge turbans, followed by sparkling dresses on the body and the subtle jooti on the foot, attract men's attention. Women wear traditional flowing lehengas and long, shiny blouses with sewn mirrors. Full-colored bracelets, long, heavy earrings and nose rings, also called natni, are the dominant decorative surfaces alongside heavy necklaces.

 

2. NAGAUR LIVESTOCK FAIR

 

Rajasthan takes place in Nagaur in February and is a unique fair with "cattle". Cattle are gathered all over Rajasthan and decorated by their owners. The decorated cattle are a real treat and the eccentricity of the event enchants tourists. Tug of war, ox races, etc. These are the highlights of the events.

 

3. BANESHWAR FAIR

 

It takes place in Dungarpur and includes many traditional rituals. It extends over a period of 4 days. Many Rajasthani package tour operators encourage tourists to purchase the handicrafts to sell as souvenirs.

 

Special festivals of Rajasthan

 

Like the fairs, the Rajasthani festivals also seem to have their power. The aura of festivals in Rajasthan creates a happy atmosphere in the air and everyone around them can feel it.

 

4. JAISALMER DESERT FESTIVAL

 

Organized by the Rajasthan Tourism Board, the Desert Festival, also known as Thar Festival, brings the turbulent sand dunes to life by adding vibrant colors, lavish markets, traditional folklore, and more. The music is heavenly and can keep you entertained with the melodious sounds of instruments like Iktara. The festival takes place on the colder days of January or February, and Rajasthan tour packages ensure that tourists get involved in the celebrations.

 

5. JAIPUR ELEPHANT FESTIVAL

 

The elephant festival takes place in conjunction with the Festival of Colors, also known as Holi. It offers delicacies such as elegantly decorated elephant parades, polo games with elephants, elephant races as well as moving music and dance. The elephants seem to enjoy the festivities as much as the people involved. Rajasthan tours multiply to see such holidays.

 

6. GANGAUR FESTIVAL

 

Gangaur Festival is a special festival for women only. Married, single and newlyweds are the dominant participants in the celebrations. Colorful marches take place through the streets of the city. Women celebrate the festival by creating mehendi (henna) patterns on their hands. Tourists on Rajasthan tours take part in the celebration and enjoy the atmosphere of joy.

 

AND MUCH MORE ...
