In November each year, a Camel Fair is held in the beautiful Rajasthani town of Pushkar. The Pushkar Camel Fair is a festive event: farmers and herders from across India gather to sell camels, horses, and cattle. Amidst the camel races and auctions there are also textile, jewelry and ethnic handicraft markets. Tourists traveling to the fair will be hard-pressed to make decisions on what not to buy. Snake charmers and camel decorators line the streets, and there is even a popular contest measuring which festival-goer has the longest mustache!
