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.
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.
