Pushkar Cattle Fair is one of the largest in India and the only one of its kind in the world. During the fair, lakhs of people from rural India flock to Pushkar, along with camel and cattle for several days of livestock trading, horse dealing, pilgrimage and religious festival. This small town in Rajasthan becomes a cultural phenomenon when colourfully dressed devotees, musicians, acrobats, folk dancers, traders, comedians, ‘sadhus’ and tourists reach here. It is being organised this year from October 31 to November 6, 2014. (The photo is of the popular turban tying competition.)
