The Most Fair in Rajasthan
If we remove the festivity of the fairs, Rajasthan would have been a dull place. It is surprising to see how the sheer will of human beings keep them in constant celebration in the rough weather and scorching sun of the desert land. Romance, faith, and valor of the Rajputs infuse new life in the folklores and the folk songs of Rajasthan. The traditions are very much alive and traditional fairs are held all the year round marked by colorful costumes and cultural performances. There are music and dance and there are village women wearing heavy silver jewellery and hiding their faces behind the veil. There are traders who gather to sell their wares - household items and exquisitely designed handicrafts. There are camels and cattle and there are competitions.
