A brief idea about the tour: Pushkar is a small, yet beautiful town set in a valley which is just 14 km from Ajmer. Pushkar forms a fascinating location because it is surrounded by the sand dunes from one side and hills on the remaining three. It forms a befitting environment for the annual cattle and religious fair that is globally famed and attracts countless of tourists from all corners of the world. Pushkar, though known as the site for the largest camel fair, there are also many more pleasurable aspects of the festival. For the international visitors, the colors and fortitude of this place is a matter of great enthusiasm and as far as the domestic visitors are concerned, the religious aspects of Pushkar are a huge attraction and a matter of great significance. The fair is celebrated on Kartik Purnima, the 15th day of Kartik when its full moon. According to the Hindu mythology, it is the day when Lord Brahma paved the way for the Pushkar Lake.
The Pushkar cattle fair is celebrated for seven continuous days at the time of Kartik Purnima. The camel trade which is the major attraction of this fair dominates over the first five days. The buyers and sellers gather in huge numbers in order to participate in the trade of camels. Smooth transaction as well as heavy bargaining is not limited to the camels only as the trade of other animals like horses, goats and sheep are also carried out in full swing. In this cattle fair the importance of camel is demonstrated by the camels are made to walk or participate in a camel pageant. They are beautifully dressed, scented and ornamented before sending them to the pageant. Without any doubt, these decorated and ornamented camels draw more eyes and draw more attention even than the prettiest woman on the earth. The best camel in the camel pageant wins the coveted title. However, this fair is not only about presenting decorated camels and other animals; a race is also organized where camels run with all their might leaving people shouting and cheering for their favorite camel. Towards the end of the race i.e. just before the finishing point, the noise of the crowd reaches its maximum and then diminishes because the supporters of the winning camel only continue with their plaudits.
The women folk who visit this fair have other sources of entertainment as well. These sources are the garments stalls and the ornaments shops. They are invariably drawn towards those stalls because of the appeal of their colorful decoration. There are tattoo stalls as well, which is the most popular stall among the women. The facilities for the rural women to look glamorous may not be the same as the urban women but the tattoo stalls provide them with a specific beauty mark that distinguishes them from others for the rest of their lives. The Pushkar fair does not end here; instead there are other aspects as well like the acrobats on tight ropes and cartwheels, folk dances and a competition for the best display of vegetables and fruits. The enthusiasm of the Pushkar festival also gives way to a religious fervor. It is the only place in the whole country that has a temple devoted to the Lord Brahma. A dip in the Pushkar Lake during the festival is considered to be extremely auspicious that washes away all the bad deeds of a person. As a matter of fact, most of the visitors visit the Pushkar fair only to offer their prayers to the architect of the world. Thousands of oil lamps are seen floating in the water at night to pay respect to Lord Brahma. The whole atmosphere gets illuminated by the light of the lamps and the profound faith of the devotees.
