Fairs of Rajasthan

   Fairs and Festivals hold an important place and reflect the vigor and life style of its people of Rajasthan. Vibrant colours, music and dance make the golden sand come alive. In Rajasthan there are fairs for every religious occasion, for every change of season and for every harvest. While some of these are traditional festivals, there are also a large number of festivals that have been recently introduced by the tourism department to showcase the heritage of the region. The fair and festivals are celebrated almost round the year in Rajasthan. These festivals provide an opportunity to the visitor to gain an insight into the life of the people of Rajasthan. In some of the fairs and festivals the elephant race, elephant polo, horse polo, camel races, dance and music are specially organised for the tourists. If you plan to include any of the festival in your itinerary, then we would be delighted to include that fair or festival in your itinerary. The Team of Indo Vacations keeps itself updated with the dates of the several festivals, so please check its date, before finalising your trip.
