Desert Festival, Jaisalmer (Jan-Feb.): One of the most popular
among the festivals of Rajasthan, the Jaisalmer Desert festival is a
journey into the heart of the Rajasthan desert, the golden city of
Jaisalmer. A true show on the sands which attracts even the much
traveled visitor. Folk performers like musicians, ballad singers, snake
charmers, and puppeteers all exhibit their traditional skills. There are
exciting camel dances, camel acrobatics, camel races, and camel polo,
competitions for the best decorated camel, tug-of-war between musclemen,
a turban tying competition and a Mr. Desert contest. The culmination is
a sound and light spectacle on a moonlit night amidst sand dunes.
