Pushkar Camel Festival

It possible to buy a decent camel for approximately $500 in India, and the no best place of the there to make a choice than with the festival of camel of Pushkar.

The Indians refer to a fair or a festival like ‘mela’. However, the words more probably with being in the forefront of a spirit’of the Westerner S are mutilation and madness. A perfect example of this is the largest’camel of the world S right, held each year in Pushkar during the Hindu lunar month of Kartika (which falls usually formerly in November). 

The population of Pushkar is normally of the 15.000 relatively tiny people. However this bursts more with 200.000 people and 50.000 camels during the festival. Currently, the camels and their owners arrive of all the directions and take the residence in tents dispatch in the close desert. They’about accompanied by the many visiting Indian families which camp outside by chance in the open one at the edge of the city.

The legend of Pushkar
Pushkar is an idyllic city in the medium of the desert of Ràjasthàn d’ India . It full with the bleached buildings, and is surrounded by hills on three sides and sand dunes of the other. The principal characteristic of Pushkar is its lake. According to the Hindu legend, it was made starting from a flower of lotus dropped by lord Brahma, the creator, by seeking a place to carry out a holy ritual one night of full moon.

The pelerins which bathe in water’of the lake S believe that they will be freed from their sins. The four days between Kartika Shukla Ekadashi (the eleventh day of Kartika) and Kartika Purnima (the full moon of Kartika) are looked as being most favourable. It is said that those which bathe the day of full moon receive special blessings. The major part of the action of camel takes place honestly above the 5 days bringing to the official beginning of the camel on Kartika Shukla Ekadashi, after which above the shifts of hearth to the intensified religious celebrations.

Arriving in Pushkar
Arrival in Pushkar is either by taxi or heaving, dilapidated local bus from Ajmer – 11 kilometres away through the hills. Eager luggage-wallahs immediately assail disembarking tourists and quickly load their bags on to hand drawn carts, which they proceed to pull through the mazes of dusty winding streets to a motley assortment of hotels. Meanwhile, luggage owners follow behind in a daze, absorbed by the sight around them.

The streets are lined with mobile chai (tea) vendors, and hawkers selling everything from clothes and jewellery to decorative items and handicrafts. Everywhere is a dazzling display of brightly coloured turbans, scarves and sarees worn by the Indian people for the festive occasion. One can’t help but be mesmerised.

What to See at the Camel Festival
The scene of the camel fair is just as striking. The sand dunes appeared infested with camels as far as the eyes can see. These camels are dressed up, paraded, entered into beauty contests, raced, and of course traded. Some camels even have their hair shaved into patterns to help them stand out from the rest. Along with these peculiar and amusing activities, the crowds are entertained well into each evening by an array of musicians, magicians, dancers, acrobats, snake charmers and carousel rides. Anyone game enough to get close to the centre of these activities runs the risk of being suddenly pulled into the fanfare, encouraged by the frenzied clapping, singing and musical melodies of the other participants.

The Pushkar camel fair provides a fascinating insight into Indian culture and way of life, and will leave a deep imprint in your memory. It’s likely that you’ll return to you hotel room feeling quite overwhelmed but captivated by what you’ve seen and experienced. As you lay on your bed, in the distance you may be able to faintly hear chanting and the ringing of bells that accompany the ancient religious ceremonies, and you’ll know that you’re in the midst of something very special.
