The Camel Fair

Venturing in to Rajhastan, we headed straight to Pushkar, on the train, to experience the hulabaloo of the Camel Fair.
Hundreds and thousands of livestock traders meet outside Pushkar to trade camels, cattle and horses. There is an electric atmosphere helped by the pilgrims that flock to the town to bath in its holy lake. The town is a Temple town to the Hindu god Brahma and it is good luck to submerge yourself in the water, and also it seems a good place to wash your clothes. Despite the numbers, the picturesque town has a good feel with a more touristy aura coming from the bazaars and restaurants catering to western tastes. Makes a change to spicey curry!
