Nagaur awakens to bustling life every year with the thronging
of cattle, horses and camels accompanied by their turbaned owners and eager
buyers. This cattle fair held annually is one of the largest in the country.
The Nagaur bulls are renowned for their fleet-footedness and therefore,
attract buyers from all over the region.
The day starts with
buyers and sellers engaged in earnest bargains. Once the price of a horse,
bullock or probably a camel has been settled, the day draws to a close with
fun and festivity. Games, tug of war, camel races and strains of ballads
create a joyful atmosphere with the setting sun in the background.
