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 Raj puts 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.
