The ancient town of Pushkar is transformed into a
spectacular fair ground in the month of Kartik (October –
November). The fair attracts a great number of tourists from
far and wide. The fairgrounds reverberate with festivity, as
rows of make shift stalls display a bewildering array of
items that compete with each other for the visitors’
attention. But the highlight of Pushkar Fair is the trading
in camels. The camels are bought, sold, decked up and
paraded on the sand dunes, presenting a picturesque sight.
The camel, horse and donkey races are events that draw huge
attendance. Body tattooing is yet another favourite activity
that attracts a large of enthusiasts.
 The
Pushkar fair brings together a large number of villages from
different parts of the state. Some come here to sell. Some
come here to buy. Others come here on a pilgrimage. Still
others come here just to enjoy the festivities. The days are
filled with fun and activities. The evenings are filled with
music and dance. Come dusk, and the rich strains of haunting
music are carried across the desert sands as the merrymaking
continues deep into the night. The profusion of colours that
run riot in the desert sands, the glee and the contagious
enthusiasm of the village folk are a unique experience of
every visitor.
During the
fair, cultural shows and exhibitions are organized to
enliven the event. Movies are shown and competitions are
arranged. Bards and poets recite and sing tales of valour
and heroism of bygone days. Animal races and other
competitions add to the attraction.
The special
feature of the Pushkar fair to stay in tents which are
pitched nearby to the fair ground. Normally all the modern
amenities & comforts, dining space, toiletries etc. are
available in these tented accommodations.
