Essentially an animal fair, it provides an opportunity to participate in some
of the local sports.
This eight days fair held every year
during the month of Jan-Feb, is popularly known as the Cattle fair and is
the second largest in Rajasthan. Nagaur Town is the most picturesque of
Rajput townships.
Nagaur is a sea of animals, trading over
70,000 bullocks, camels and horses every year. The bullocks are known for
their fleetness. Not only are the animals lavishly decorated, even their
owners flaunt wearing colourful turbans and long moustaches.
Sports like tug-of-war, camel races, bullock races and cock fights;
jugglers; puppeteers, story-tellers; and exciting campfire evenings are held
to entertain the tourists. Folk music of the Jodhpur variation echoes the
tranquil desert sand. Nagaur is well connected to the major cities by road
and rail. Nearest airport is Jodhpur, some 135kms away.
