| About

the heroes of Rajasthan, in the month of Ashwin
(Sept-Oct) in Jodhpur , for two days during
the full moon of Sharad Poornima. This festival

this festival features folk music centred
on the romantic lifestyle of Rajasthan's rulers.
This festival is devoted to the music and
dance of the Marwar region. |
| Activities
during the Marwar Fair |
This
famous festival, offers a good opportunity
to see the folk dancers carrying pots on their
heads and singers who assemble here and provide
hours of lively entertainment. These folk
artistes provide a glimpse of the days of
battles and valiant heroes who still live
on in their songs. The Mewar Festival is celebrated
to welcome the advent of spring.
It coincides with the festival of Gangaur
in Udaipur, and has a unique charm about it.
The women folk gather to dress the images
of Isar and Gangaur and then carry them in
a ceremonial procession through different
parts of the city. The procession winds its
way to the Gangaur Ghat at Lake Pichhola .
Here, the images are transferred to special
boats amidst much singing and festivity.
Once the religious part of the festival is
over, it is time for cultural events where
Rajasthani culture is portrayed through songs,
dances and other programmes. The festival
culminates with an impressive fireworks display.
Like other fairs and festivals celebrated
throughout the state, there is a lot of activity,
which keeps the participants in a joyful frame
of mind, eager to enjoy every moment.
Camel tattoo show and Polo, are the other
attractions during this festival. |
