coincides with the festival of Gangaur in Udaipur, and has a unique charm
about it.The festival of Gangaur is very significant for women of Rajasthan.
It is a time for them to dress up in their best clothes and participate
in the festival.
They gather to dress the images of Isar and Gangaur and then carry them in
a ceremonial procession through different parts of the city. The procession
winds its way to the Gangaur Ghat at Lake Pichola. Here, the images are
transferred to special boats amidst much singing and festivity.
Once the religious part of the festival is over, it is time for cultural events
where Rajasthani culture is portayed through songs, dances and other programmes.
The festival culminates with an impressive fireworks display. Like other fairs
and festivals celebrated throughout the state, there is a lot of activity which
keeps the participants in a joyful frame of mind, eager to enjoy every moment
of the celebrations.
