This annual event attracts thousands of visitors from all over the world who come to witness the vibrant colors, sounds, and flavors of Rajasthan's rich culture and heritage. Exclusive India Journey, one of the leading travel companies in India, is proud to offer a special Pushkar Fair Tour Package for 2023 which promises to be an unforgettable experience.
Pushkar Fair is a colorful and lively celebration that takes place in the town of Pushkar, located in the Ajmer district of Rajasthan. The festival is centered around Pushkar Lake, which is known as one of the holiest sites in India. According to legend, Lord Brahma, the creator of the universe, dropped a lotus flower on the ground, and the place where it fell became Pushkar Lake.
This fair is a major event for the locals who come dressed in their traditional attire, selling and buying goods, participating in cultural events, and enjoying the festive atmosphere. However, the main attraction of the fair is the camel trading that takes place in the early mornings. Thousands of camels are brought to the fairgrounds by their owners who haggle with potential buyers over the price of the animals. It's a fascinating spectacle to watch, as the camels are decorated with colorful rugs and jewelry.
Pushkar Fair 2023 is scheduled to take place from November 1st to November 10th. This ten-day event is one of the most important festivals in Rajasthan, and it attracts visitors from all over the world.
