Nagaur Fair

The Nagaur fair for showcasing the livestock including cows, bullocks, oxen, camels, horses, etc is conducted in the Maharashtrian city of Nagpur. This is the Rajasthan’s second largest cattle fair, and it is held during the month of January of February.
The Villagers from Rajasthan are seen wearing colourful turbans and they flaunt their clothes and long moustaches. This fair not only showcases the cattle, but also houses the plentiful local crafts including wooden artefacts, iron crafts, leather works, and other handicrafts.
Apart from the exhibition of handlooms, crafts and cattle, the Nagaur fait also conducts competition and games like tug-of-war, cock and bull fights, camel races, etc. These games attract both local and tourists. There is also cultural performances including folk and dance performances that keep everyone involved and gives a varied taste into the Rajasthani tradition.

The experience one has from the Nagaur fair is unique. One can peek into the spectacle of colours of Rajasthan, local lifestyle, culture and tradition.
