Every November, the sleepy little township of Pushkar in Rajasthan, India comes alive with a riot of colors and a frenzied burst of activity. The occasion: PUSHKAR FAIR. Very few, if at all any, fairs in the world can match the liveliness of Pushkar. Most people associate the Pushkar Fair with the world's largest camel fair. But it is much more than that.
It is an occasion for villagers from far and near to gather together and enjoy a welcome break from their harsh life of the arid desert. And enjoy they do! In dazzling style and colors.
It is an occasion for Hindu pilgrims to converge for a holy dip in the sacred Pushkar Lake to "wash away the sins of a lifetime" and pay obeisance at the ONLY Brahma temple in the world. The Pushkar fair is amongst the most unique fairs of its kind in the world. It is a combination of an animal fair and the religious fair. Both the fairs are enchanting and have their own unique aspects and quality. As per the Indian calendar the fair is held in the first lunar cycle in the month of Kartik culminating on the Kartik poornima ( Full moon). The last four days of the fair are considered as the holiest occasion for all the believers in Hinduism. A bath in the sacred Pushkar Lake is considered the ultimate act of spirituality. The cattle fair takes place during the first nine days of the fair peaking from the 5th day and and finishing on the 9th day. The animals start dispersing from the 9th day.

To witness the extravaganza of the cattle fair it is advisable to visit Pushkar from 08 Nov. - 15 Nov. One can see the fair in all its glory, away from the crowds that accumulate later.
