No land celebrates life like India with festivals like Holi, and fairs like Pushkar. They are exciting occasions to immerse yourself in festivities that glorify harvests, seasons, triumphs, joys, sorrows, battles, Gods, and kings. This famous Pushkar camel and cattle fair takes place every November, as part of the holy Hindu festival culminating in a full moon. The town becomes a riot of colour, sights and sounds as thousands of desert peoples gather to buy, sell and race camels and take part in the huge handicraft market.. The colourful festival of Holi has an ancient origin and celebrates the triumph of 'good' over 'bad', whilst Diwali celebrates the victory of good over evil - and the glory of light. Homes are decorated, sweets are distributed by everyone and thousands of lamps lit to create a world of fantasy. Eid-Milad-ul-Nabi, the birth anniversary of Prophet Mohammad is celebrated all over India with the reading of the Quran and religious discourses in the mosques.
