Desert Festival
The Desert Festival is a three days long extravaganza of colour, music and
festivity, held at the golden city of Jaisalmer. Gair and fire dancers
swaying to traditional tunes, a turban-tying competition and a Mr. Desert
contest are part of the fun and frolic.
The grand finale is a
trip to the sand dunes at Sam where one can enjoy the pleasure of a camel
ride and even view the folk dancers and musicians perform at the sand dunes.
Once a year in winters and on the middle of the continually
rising and falling stark yellow sands of the great Thar Desert, the empty
sands around Jaisalmer come alive with the brilliant colour, music and
laughter of the Desert Festival.
The festival is organised by
the tourist authorities as tourist entertainment around January-February.
The very rich and colourful Rajasthani folk culture is on show here for a
few days.
Rajasthani men and tall beautiful women dressed in
their brightly costumes dance and sing lingering ballads of valour, romance
and tragedy. Traditional musicians attempt to outdo each other in their
musical superiority.
