With the backdrop of the Aravali Hills on one side and sand dunes on the other, the annual Pushkar Fair is synonymous to 7 days of exotic sojourn through the royal luxuries blended with rustic beauty, spiritual solace, vivid colors of folk life, live performances, desert sports, and unique competitions.
