Every November over 200,000 prospective camel buyers, sellers and gawkers invade this peaceful, holy village with an assault of colour, laughter and energy, topped with a healthy dose of spirituality. In January or February, the sands around Jaisalmer come alive with the brilliant colours, music and laughter of the Desert Festival.
Over the years, the desert dwellers in their solitude have woven a fascinating tapestry with threads of music and rhythm and the Desert Festival is a celebration of their heritage. The Elephant Festival gets underway in the month of Phalgun on the eve of Holi, the Festival of Colours every March in Jaipur.
