rajasthan is at its colourful best during fairs and festivals. there are numerous festivals throughout the year, which brighteh the otherwise hard and gloomy lives of the villagers of the desert. one of the most popular and charismatic fairs of the desert is the prshkar fair, hald on the 11th day of the bright half of the moon. the fair corresponds to the western month of october and november. the pictresque pushkar is set in a valley just about 14km off ajmer in the north indian state of rajasthan. surrounded by hills on three sides and sand dunes on the other, pushkar forms a fascinating location and a befitting backdrop for the annual religious and cattle fair.
