Nagaur Fair, Nagaur

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.

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.
