Fairs And Festivals in India |
| |
India draws millions of visitors to its folds every year and a large percentage of them come solely to be a part of and enjoy the sizzling fairs and festivals celebrated across the nation. The reason behind this influx of visitors is the fact that a holiday planned around the festival time or to include a fair is one of the best ways to experience the true charm of India’s rich cultural heritage.
The Pushkar Fair, for example, held in the month of Karthik, converts the small hamlet Pushkar in Rajasthan into a bustling fairground thronged by locals cattle owners and traders, pilgrims and tourists from across the world. Similarly, the Pooram Festival of Kerala brings alive the small town of Thrissur with the reverberating sounds of percussion ensembles that accompany the fifty or more elaborately decorated and bejeweled elephants.
The magnitude of these fairs, the color and gaiety with which they are celebrated and the joyous spirit of the people all around are contagious and make your holiday in India an experience you will cherish and remember for the rest of your lives. Plan your holiday in India around the holidays with the Fairs and Festivals Holiday Package from Hi-tours. |
