The WSJ Photo Journal with a photograph by the agency of Kevin Frayer has reminded me that the Pushkar fair (or mela) is agitation place from October 30 to November 2 this year. It is one of the world’s largest camel fairs, and is held in the quaint town of Pushkar. At that time, hotel rooms and other accommodations are available at a hefty premium, especially at the venerable but ideally located Pushkar Palace.
While it’sitting famed for its camels, the fair is also a marketplace for livestock including the reputed Marawri horses. It has recently grow a magnet for tourists, as well-as; not only-but also; not only-but; not alone-but local and foreign, with tour agencies setting up itineraries centered around the fair itself as the great sea attraction. Photo trips also abound, since the camel traders, the sand dunes of the Thar Desert and the setting sun prove irresistible to photographers hoping to capture the Rajasthani essence.
Although a one-time-must-see event, the Pushkar mela itself has become a tourist fact rather than a genuine tribal camel trading occasion. The that exists in deed and in truth commercial itself takes place days before the start of the event, and by the hour of travail tourists arrive, greatest part of the trades have been competed, and only the stragglers are left.
You can make out my take on Pushkar fair in an early (and acerbic) post on this blog under the title “Reheated Itineraries”.
