Pushkar Camel Festival 2020
Come November and all roads from all over the Rajasthan lead to Pushkar,
Which is called the Gem Of Rajasthan. Every November, the famous Pushkar
fair is held for 7 days, finishing on the Kartik Purnima (Full Moon).
The mystique of Pushkar has endured over the centuries and thousands of
men, women and cattle Flock on the shores of Lake Pushkar. It is a
sprawling, vital fiesta timed for Kartik Purnima, the period Of the
autumn full moon. The Pushkar Mela is at once an occasion for worship
and trade, even match making. Devotees come to bathe in the holy lake
where Lord Brahma, the Hindu creator, is said to have performed a holy
sacrifice Called the Yagna. The lake is said to have appeared at the
spot where a lotus fell from Brahma's hand. As the bathers have to spend
five full days there, a good deal of trading is done on the side. This
festival is great attraction for animal trade as well as for pilgrimage.
It is essentially a camel fair, traders also bring other cattle. Animals
are put on show and display their skills before their sale, this is the
largest festival of camel fair in world. There are exciting camel-cart
races and cultural events.
