The
Desert Festival - an extravaganza of colour, music and festivity,
is held every year during the Hindu month of Magh (February).
It has, on display, some of the most fondly preserved components
of Rajasthan's rich culture.

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.

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.
