For a Captivating Experience Visit the Pushkar Fair 2011
Pushkar is one of the oldest towns in the state of Rajasthan. The history of Pushkar can be dated back to the time when Lord Brahma paid penance here for 60,000 years to just get a glimpse of Lord Krishna. Due to this legend, there exists a Lord Brahma temple here. This is the one and only temple in the whole world. One of the other main attractions of this town is the Pushkar Lake. This is a sacred lake surrounded by fifty two bathing ghats where the pilgrims take a holy dip. The auspicious day of taking this holy dip is on the kartik poornima.
Pushkar is a holy town and there are many devout Hindus that travel for pilgrimage purposes. The town is full of other famous temples even such as The Sri Sawai Bhoj Temple, Savitri Temple, Varaha Temple and Mahadev Temple. The other vital part relating to the town of Pushkar is the Pushkar fair that falls again on the full moon day in the month of October or November. This again is a very old tradition and forms a part of the cultural heritage of the town. The Pushkar fair 2011 is in the month of November. The exact dates for the event are from the second till the tenth.
Both the major events fall together and as such there are crowds of people in this region. There are locals and outsiders gathered for the purpose of worshipping and glorifying the gods and goddesses. There are locals that are again gathered for the camel fair in the pursuit of some good transaction deals on their camels and other cattle animals. The main people that are included in these crowds during the Pushkar fair are those of the visitors and other travelers. The focus here is that there are more people coming from various parts of the world to witness this cultural and traditional event. It has become a major tourist speculation event. During, the Pushkar fair 2011 too, a lot of national and international travelers are expected.
To witness such a type of event is in itself very overwhelming. This is one of the world’s largest camel fairs with a backdrop of the little hills of the Aravalli range, the lake, the patches of desert, multi colored stalls selling various hand crafted items and of course the mouth watering snacks of the region. There are lots of entertaining activities taking place alongside the other appearances. There is classical and folk singing followed by the many types of ethnic dances.
Why not observe this whole scenario from the top rather than becoming a part of the crowd? Take an air balloon flight and get a holistic view. The hot air balloon flight will provide you with an enthralling experience which will always be the highlight of your whole trip.
