Travel to the Holy Town of Pushkar and Witness the Colors of Pushkar Fair

Rajasthan is a land of art and architecture in the form of heritage buildings and resorts. It is also one of the most traditional states in the country that celebrates all its customs and traditions in a very distinctive way. Pushkar Fair is one such affair in Rajasthan that is one of the most popular festivals of the state. It is held on Kartik Poornima in the month of October or November, depending upon the cycle of the moon. Pushkar fair is so well-known that it attracts visitors from all around the world.

This fair brings in many farmers, villagers, herders and traders from different parts of the state together as the event is also famous for camel trading and other cattle animals. The animals brought here for the sale are beautifully decorated. There are numerous cultural activities such as camel racing, matka phod, bridal contests, folk singing and dancing and so on. The fair also offers shopping opportunities for the visitors who can shop for a variety of items such as jewellery pieces, traditional apparels and other hand crafted items. A recent adventurous addition to the fair is the availability of hot air balloon flights by India’s best Hot air balloon ride provider- SkyWaltz.

Pushkar is a very old city and its existence can be dated to when Lord Brahma sprung up the lake and paid a penance for 60,000 years to get a glimpse of Lord Vishnu. Due to this, there is one and only site for the temple of the Hindu god of creation, Lord Brahma. Many travelers who visit the lake town for this purpose prefer to do on Kartik Poornima as it is the most auspicious and significant day.

Tourists combine both the above activities in their travel plan and visit the sleepy town of Pushkar that comes alive during this season.
