| About
the Summer Festival |
| At the
height of summer when the temperature really
soars, the coolest spot in Rajasthan warms
up to the visitors who go there for the Summer
Festival in the month of June. At Mount Abu
, the only hill station of the desert state,
the joyful festive spirit lingers. The steep
rocks, tranquil lakes, picturesque locations
and the pleasant climate of Mount Abu make
it an ideal location for the festival. The
three-day festival is a feast of folk and
classical music and a window to the tribal
life and culture of Rajasthan. |

festival begins with the singing of a ballad
which is followed by folk dances which enthral
