Pushkar, Rajasthan
Every November, the sleepy little township of Pushkar in Rajasthan, India
comes alive with a riot of colors and a frenzied burst of activity. The
occasion: PUSHKAR FAIR. Very few, if at all any, fairs in the world
can match the liveliness of Pushkar. Most people associate the Pushkar Fair
with the world's largest camel fair. But it is much more than that.
It is an occasion for villagers from far and near to gather together
and enjoy a welcome break from their harsh life of the arid desert. And
enjoy they do! In dazzling style and colors.
It is an occasion for Hindu pilgrims to converge for a holy dip in the sacred
Pushkar Lake to "wash away the sins of a lifetime" and pay obeisance
at the ONLY Brahma temple in the world.
For the visitor, it is an unparalleled and unforgettable experience
to capture the vibrancy of the entire state of Rajasthan in one place. This
website attempts to give you a glimpse of the magic of Pushkar. Of course,
you have to be there to truly understand it.
