Fairs
& Festivals
Fairs and
festivals of Rajasthan reflect the vigour and life style of its
people. Vibrant colours, music and festivities make the golden
sands come alive. Veiled, bejeweled women sing and dance to
devotional rhythms. Itinerant bards render ballads of valour of
the heroes of yore. Alongside, brisk trading of consumer goods,
cattle and grain is carried on. s
Nomadic
tribes, and traditional entertainers, jugglers, puppeteers and
performer come together at these fair securing livelihood.
Rajasthan
has a fair for every religious occasion, for every change of
season, and for every harvest.
