Nagaur Fair
This eight days fair held every year during the month of Jan-Feb,
is popularly known as the Cattle fair and is the second largest
in Rajasthan.
Nagaur Town is the most picturesque of Rajput townships. Nagaur
is a sea of animals, trading over 70,000 bullocks, camels and horses
every year.
The bullocks are known for their fleetness. Not only are the animals
lavishly decorated, even their owners flaunt wearing colourful turbans
and long moustaches.
Sports like tug-of-war, camel races, bullock races and cock fights;
jugglers; puppeteers, story-tellers; and exciting campfire evenings
are held to entertain the tourists.
Folk music of the Jodhpur variation echoes the tranquil desert
sand. Nagaur is well connected to the major cities by road and rail.
Nearest airport is Jodhpur, some 135kms away. |
