7 Unusual Festivals in India
Pushkar Camel Fair
In October/November every year a surprising 50,000 camels unite on the small holy town of Pushkar, in Rajasthan for the Pushkar Camel Fair. For five days the camels are dressed up, paraded, traded, shaved, entered into beauty contests, and raced. A huge carnival is held, with a display of musicians, snake charmers, magicians, dancers, acrobats, and carousel rides to entertain the crowd.
Pushkar is about 45 minutes drive over a hill from Ajmer. The place can be reached by buses and taxis and Ajmer is readily accessible by train from many places in India. A similar camel fair is held in Bikaner in December where the fair kicks off with a procession of camels decorated in their finest attire, with camel beauty pageants, camel races, and camel dancing. The fair ends with entertainment by Rajasthani folk artists, and fireworks.
