In the middle of the Thar Desert, the empty sands around Jaisalmer, Rajasthan comes alive with brilliant colours and music of the Desert Festival from February 1-3, 2015. Rajasthani men and women dressed in their bright costumes dance and sing lingering ballads of valour, romance and tragedy. Traditional musicians attempt to outdo each other in their musical superiority. The high points of the festival are- puppeteers, acrobats, camel tattoo show, camel races, camel polo, traditional procession, camel mounted band, folk dances, etc. The Mr. Desert competitions, which are focused around the length and style of moustaches and rustic physique in traditional costumes, attracts many visitors.
