Pushkar Fair 2017
Every year in the month of Kartik (usually ten days after Diwali), an overwhelming number of camels and their owners travel across the golden sands of Rajasthan to gather at the little township of Pushkar for one of the world's largest week-long camel fair, known as the Pushkar Fair.
Pushkar Camel Fair is the hub of cattle market for local farmers and herdsmen who buy and sell camels, horses and other breeds of cattle. Local people call it by the name Pushkar Mela also. This fair provides a great photo opportunity to photographers for amazing photography. Men clad in bright turbans, tanned faces and huge moustaches while woman use pierced earrings with silver & gold, colorful Ghagra-Cholis and multicolored Odhnis on their heads. Their necks, arms, ears and feet laden with intricate silver and gold jewelry and the richly decorated cattle with beads, long strings of cowries and woven saddle-straps - all these make a beautiful combination of colors, sights, carnival and festive atmosphere.
