The Nagaur Fair is one of the significant fair of Rajasthan which characterize cattle trading essentially. Its duration is eight days and the time period is of Magha month (January-February). The site of the fair is Nagaur which is exceptionally scenic. Around 70,000 bullocks, camels and horses are sold and purchased in the fair which makes the fair enormously crucial for traders.
Animals are festooned with funky accessories in order to give them neat and refined looks. The vendors of cattle are fully clad in colorful attires and turbans. Other attractions which take away the heart of any individual are Mirchi (red chili) Bazaar (market) where every kind of chilli is sold. Also one can find wooden objects, iron-crafts, camel leather accessories and many more.
For fun loving personalities, the fair of Nagaur is just the right place as diverse sports are organized such as tug-of-war, camel races, bullock races and cockfights. It is very hard to imagine that these atypical sports can be seen in metropolitan cities. The stalls of jugglers, puppeteers, storytellers, and campfire evenings, also jazz up the entire event. Without music any fair or festival is incomplete. So the exemplary folk music of Jodhpur adds up spice to the fair and some more excitement for tourists.
The Nagaur Fair may seem to be a little event but the town of Nagaur cheer up with full of life environment created due to huge masses of people participating enthusiastically in the fair. The fair goes on full swing with the interminable spirits of villagers and traders.
Discovering the glory of Rajasthan culture and tradition in Nagaur Fair could be a great idea.
