The Pushkar Fair also called the Pushkar Camel Fair or locally Kartik Mela or Pushkar ka Mela is an annual multi-day livestock fair and cultural fête held in the town of Pushkar (Rajasthan, India). The fair starts with the Hindu calendar month of Kartik and ends on the Kartik Purnima, which typically overlaps with late October and early November in the Gregorian calendar. In 1998, over 1 million visitors came to Pushkar throughout the year. The Pushkar fair alone attracts over 200,000 visitors.The Pushkar fair is one of India's largest camel, horse and cattle fairs. Apart from the trading of livestock, it is an important pilgrimage season for Hindus to the Pushkar lake. Pushkar fair has also become a significant tourist attraction for domestic and international travelers, given the cooler season, the abundance of colorful cultural themes. Cultural events and competitions include dances, tug of war between women teams as well as men teams, the "Matka phone", "longest mustache" competition, "bridal competition", camel races, and others.
Thousands of people go to the banks of Pushkar Lake where the fair takes place. Men trade their livestock, which includes camels, horses, cows, sheep, and goats. Rural families shop at handicraft stalls full of bracelets, clothes, textiles, and fabrics. A camel race starts off the festival, with music, songs, and exhibitions to follow. Between these events, the most waited for is the test of how the camel can bring the items. To demonstrate, the men go up on the group of camels one after another.[citation needed]
