Nagaur Cattle Fair
The Nagaur Festival of Rajasthan is held in the month of January or February in the quaint Rajput town of Nagaur. The Nagaur festival is a cattle fair and every year close to 75,000 camels, bullocks and horses are traded.The fair caters to the entire farming belt of Northern India and a bid on prized animal can go up to high amounts. In many cases, villagers pool in resources to raise the perfect siring bull and share the profits equally.
The fair is also a rare opportunity for tourists to catch a glimpse of rural Rajasthan, as yet uncorrupted by commercial interests.
