Rajasthan Festivals
Rajasthan's festivals reflect its royal Rajput heritage and desert culture. Gangaur's 18-day celebration is women's worship of Parvati. The Pushkar Camel Fair is a UNESCO-noted event drawing photographers worldwide. Teej during monsoon transforms cities green with women in green sarees on swings.
