Families come together to exchange sweets, celebrate with fireworks, and offer prayers — creating an atmosphere of warmth and joy.

This spectacular week-long event blends rural life, livestock trade, and vibrant performances. Camel races, folk music, dance shows, and fun competitions like turban tying make it a truly unforgettable experience.

Elephants decorated with colourful patterns, jewelled adornments, and elaborate costumes parade with grandeur. The festivities also include elephant polo, cultural performances, and displays that reflect the region’s regal traditions.
  • Gangaur: One of Rajasthan’s most important festivals, Gangaur honours Goddess Parvati and Lord Shiva.
