Experience the vibrant Fairs and Festivals of Rajasthan during your
royal journey aboard the Palace on Wheels. As the Palace on Wheels
chugs through the heart of Rajasthan in the kind of royal style that
only the Maharajas of yesteryear could have enjoyed, you not only
experience the romance of old-fashioned rail travel, but also get to
experience the splendid architecture, colourful bazaars, the rich
culture, the myriad topography of the Thar Desert, the vibrant
people and colourful fairs and festivals of Rajasthan.
Rajasthan is a vibrant, exotic state in India where tradition and
royal glory meet in a riot of colors against the vast backdrop of
sand and desert. Referred to as the Desert Jewel of India, Rajasthan
shimmers with even more vibrancy during the time of its colourful
fairs and festivals. The desert glitters with the colors of joyous
celebration and gay abandon with every fair and festival of
Rajasthan. There is a celebration for every religious occasion,
every change of season and every harvest, all invariably a
reflection of the genius of their arts and crafts and their ascetic
refinement.
In fact, celebrations occur almost round the year and are a splendid
opportunity for tourists to gain an insight into the life of the
Rajasthan during their travel. Other than the traditional fairs,
recently established festivals which involve elephants, camel races,
dance and music have been specially organised for tourists. Among
the better known fairs and festivals of Rajasthan are:
Pushkar Fair, Pushkar (November): The well-known and marked with
largest participation of all the festivals of Rajasthan, Pushkar is
an important pilgrimage as well as the venue of a mammoth cattle
fair. Bazaars, auctions, music and sports are highlight of this
event. |
