As it is a secular country full of diversity in the religions, languages, cultures and castes, it is always crowded with the people involved in the fairs and festivals celebration.
Holi - the festival of colors is celebrated as the end of winter on the last full moon of the lunar month of Phalguna. A riotous explosion of color welcomes the Spring season as nowhere else in the world. Come celebrate with Amber!
Diwali - the festival of lights is one of the happiest and most-widely celebrated Hindu festivals the world over. Join us as we pray to Lakshmi- the Goddess of Wealth and Prosperity and invite her into our homes! We also pray to Lord Ganesha, the son of Shiva and the fearless remover of obstacles. Our favourite time to feast and shop, these 10 days are a great time to be in India.
The camel and livestock festival named after this town in Rajasthan, occurs around the start of November each year. Thousands come with their camels and livestock to trade and barter. This is a sight to be seen with tribesmen, shepherds, camel herders and nomads in incredible traditional costumes, going through time-honored traditions of trade and barter. Visit the pond said to be created by Lord Shiva’s tears and visit one of the few temples to the creator - Brahma, anywhere in the world. Truly Incredible India!
