Jaisalmer - Desert Festival
The Jaisalmer Desert festival infuses a new life into sleepy and tranquil Jaisalmer deserts that spring to life on a full moon day in the month of February every year.
Celebrated for three consecutive days, the Jaisalmer Desert festival is a colorful mosaic of open-air cultural functions and competitions such as "Best Moustache" and "Mr. Desert" that add a glorious touch to the already exciting festival celebrations and general pomp.
Participate in turban tying contests, camel races, camel polo and other interesting sports. Notice the fact that almost all the camels seen at the fair are decorated with tinkling trinkets and delightfully bright gorbandhs made of shells, sequins etc. The very sight of caparisoned camels with the yellow-gold Thar in the background creates adorable vistas that leave memorable impressions on you.
Entertain yourself with wondrous vistas such as Manganiyars and Langas singing haunting ballads with the massive Thar in the backdrop or enthusiastic folk dancers dancing Ghoomar, Dhaap, Tehratal, Ghair and Moria in joyous frenzy.
Listen to pleasing musical strains that emanate from manjeeras, jal tarangs, sitaras and other instruments and drift into the lap of the never ending Thar. Shop for ethnic goods at the desert craft stalls or just walk along the festival venue and observe folk traditions of Rajasthan manifest themselves in countless ways.
The Jaisalmer Desert festival offers you an opportunity to observe and feel the enchanting Jaisalmer cultural fabric.
So come and explore the vibrant hues of the Jaisalmer Desert festival with Rajasthan Holiday.
