Camel Festival

---

The city of Bikaner is an exercise in architecture. If ever beauty has bloomed in a desert, it has been at Bikaner. Bikaner rises from the desert like a mirage, a complex town of sandstone colored turrets, cupolas, arched windows, balconies and stone screen work in a delicate lattice style. Just beyond the town lie sand dunes, vast endless stretches of an arid desert, made to bloom wherever there is water.

One gapes in awe at the annual Camel Festival which is held every year in the month of January. The festival is organized by the Department of Tourism, Government of Rajasthan and attracts thousands of tourists who take part in the festival in a spirit of joi-de-vivre.

Although it is an exclusive Camel Festival, traditional Rajasthani folk dance and music add to the charm of this enchanting festival including of course the enthralling Fire Dance.

The festival provides tourists with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see some of the most elegant camels who charm them by their graceful strides and swaying gently on the yielding sands, literally duplicating the motion of a sea liner.

The festival is held in open sandy land and needless to say, there is no dearth of that in Bikaner. The festival starts in the right earnest with an elegant Camel Parade wherein the camels are decorated in all their finery. There are a variety of contests like the best-dressed camel, the camel with the best haircut to name just a few. One can also experience the fine art of camel milking. One of the unique feature of the Camel Festival is that guests are served with authentic desert sweets made out of the purest of camel milk.

The evenings are a riot of colors and visitors are entertained by distinguished folk musicians and dancers of Bikaner. The festival culminates with a spectacular fire work display which lights up the city of Bikaner.
