very year on Kartik Poornima (full moon) in November, Pushkar fair is organized with great zeal and people from all over the world visit this unique blend of culture, art, and livestock. The fair has two components: camel trading and religious rituals. The camel trading—which is the main attraction for tourists—happens at the beginning of the festival, with competitions and activities. Rajasthan Tourism conducts an official program of events. Towards the end, the focus shifts to religious ceremonies. Many fun activities and competitions are organized like Camel races, “the best mustache”, bridal competitions, and other artisan activities take place at the fairgrounds. The atmosphere becomes lively with camel cart rides, vendors, musicians, gypsies, and tourists. Around this time, the camels and traders start disappearing back into the desert as their business concludes. The vibrancy of this fair makes it a photographer’s paradise.
