Has it ever appeared to you that how amazing it would be to be a traveller? Travelling every day, exploring cultures, places and history in its purest form all of these activities become your key responsibility areas that too without even your choice and preference... amongst many places that explorers travel more than often to is Pushkar, Rajasthan.

Situated in the district of Ajmer in Rajasthan, Pushkar is a pilgrimage site for Hindus and Sikhs. Known for its renowned and amazingly built temples and ghats from the 18th century (with some being pieces of excavation or a broken and sad part of history). Consistently, the temples were rebuilt to marking the closure of the saddest part of the history while marking better relevance. All these years, Rajasthan is known by people nationally and internationally not only for its temple, forts and folklore culture and heritage but also for its world-renowned Pushkar Mela, also known as, Pushkar Camel Fair.

Favoured majorly by the tourists across the borders and domestically. Pushkar Mela in Rajasthan is a big deal for any traveller to capture. Pushkar Mela is celebrated every year in Rajasthan for over a period of five days. Considered as the largest camel and livestock fair in the country Pushkar Mela is said to be receiving a hefty footfall every year which can be in the close approximated count of around 50,000 camels gathered at one place making this as the largest camel fair in the world.

Known for the camels and their hunches, Rajasthan offers an exclusive opportunity to not just see these camels in their unique exhibition of decoration but also offering an equivalent opportunity for the buyers who might be interested to buy them.

Even though livestock trading is considered to be one of the primary purposes behind organising this Pushkar Camel fare, completing the religious pilgrimage is the other aspect for people to come and visit Pushkar Mela. Moreover, the Rajasthan Tourism states that the tourist value of the Pushkar Mela is really high, considering the fact that Rajasthani, as well as Gujarati traders,  come into town especially for this festival which comes with a huge  variety of items such as paintings, clothes, jewellery, shoes etc. to be sold at the Pushkar Mela.

Pushkar is not famous just for its temples but is also known significantly for its Gurdwaras made in order to commemorate the Sikh Culture by respecting and proposing the tribute to Guru Nanak and Guru Gobind Singh. Out of many Ghats that Pushkar is known for, one of the most prevalent one is is called Gobind Ghat which was built under the reign of Maratha Rulers in order to commemorate Guru Gobind Singh.

Apart from everything else, Pushkar fair has also become a significant tourist attraction, although, it is given that the cooler season is in the cusp, the fair season welcomes the colourful cultural themes. If you're a fun loving colourful person, Pushkar Mela, its Cultural Events and competitions such as dances, tug of war between women teams as well as men teams, the "Matka Phod", "longest moustache" competition, "bridal competition", camel races and others is exactly made for you.

A Cultural Extravaganza – Pushkar Mela, Rajasthan

A beauty pageant for camels, a riot of colors, a medley of folk songs and a lake that can wash away your sins. Do explore one of the largest and most colorful cattle fairs in the world, the Pushkar fair.

Legend has it that Brahma dropped a lotus flower on earth and the holy city of Pushkar arose in the midst of a desert. The site of one of the rare Brahma temples in the world, this Hindu pilgrimage city is dominated by Pushkar Lake, edged by sacred ghats and hundreds of cream-colored temples and domes. Devout Hindus flock to take a dip in the sacred waters of the lake, which can wash away the sins of a lifetime. But what draws most tourists to Pushkar is the Pushkar Camel Fair—a week-long cattle trading event, that culminates on Kartik Purnima—the full moon night in the Hindu month of Kartik. 

Visit Pushkar during the mela and you’ll see it transformed into a riot of colors and sounds. A staggering number of camels, horses, cows, sheep, and other animals make their way across the shifting desert sands to one of the largest cattle trading fairs in the world. Prospective buyers, herders, traders, tourists, pilgrims, families, and thousands of men, women and children, set up camp across the barren plains of this pond-sized desert town and completely alter the atmosphere of the placid dunes with a frenzy of sights, sounds and activity.

Gaudy turbans, resplendent ghagaras, bejeweled animals—their coats shorn into fascinating patterns and adorned with handmade, embroidered saddles, long strings of cowrie shells, bells, beads and colorful, woven saddle-straps—contrast against the even hue of the sand. Everyone who visits Pushkar is dressed to the hilt, and ready for business!

Folk songs, dances and camel races are held, followed by camel beauty pageants, which show off each splendidly bedecked camel to an appreciative audience. The camels are paraded for the judges to grade the camel’s gait, the ornamentation, the training it has received and the tricks it can display. ‘Laado oonth’, which literally means ‘load the camel’, is part of the pageant, where man after man clamber onto the back of the camel, precariously holding on to each other, as the camel tries to get to its feet.
