The Mewar Festival is celebrated
to welcome the advent of spring. It coincides with the festival of Gangaur
in Udaipur, and has a unique charm about it. The women folk gather to dress
the images of Isar and Gangaur and then carry them in a ceremonial
procession through different parts of the city.
The procession
winds its way to the Gangaur Ghat at Lake Pichhola. Here, the images are
transferred to special boats amidst much singing and festivity. Once the
religious part of the festival is over, it is time for cultural events where
Rajasthani culture is portrayed through songs, dances and other programmes.
The festival culminates with an impressive fireworks display.

Hello
Durjay,
I'm back at home and at work. The flight home was quite
an ordeal! First a ten-hour delay in Delhi, then a 20-hour flight to
Toronto, then a second overnight delay in Toronto before my flight to
Chicago. To top it all off, the bus I took from Chicago to Milwaukee got in
an accident on the way home. So I arrived home on Sunday afternoon instead
of Saturday at 8 a.m. as planned. But there was an empty seat next to me on
the Delhi-Toronto flight, so I got plenty of sleep. And I'm happy to be home
safe.
