Desert Festival
(January – February): A spectacular event
coinciding with the full moon in January – February. The rich
culture of the region is on display during this three day long festival.
The grand finale is a trip to the sand dunes on the moonlit night,
where one can also experience the pleasure of a camel ride. The
folk artistes performing on the sand dunes takes the enchantment
to its crescendo. Have a good time at the Desert Festival - a unique
blend of colour, rhythm and melody.
Add to this the warmth and cheerfulness of the people of Rajasthan
who welcome the tourists from the depths of their hearts. The excitement
heightens as the Maru-Shri (Mr. Desert) Competition and the turban-tying
competition gets underway. In the turban-tying competition and tug
of war, Indians compete with foreigners which adds to the fun of
the festival. An interesting event of the festival is the Moustache
Competition. In this competition the prize is given to the man with
the longest moustache.
