Place: Jaisalmer
Occasion: Raslila
The colors of Desert Festivals
It is one occasion in Jaisalmer when the entire town comes to life with
the beats of traditional musical instruments. It is the right time
to visit Jaisalmer as during the festival some chosen and cherished moments
of its
glorious and illustrious past and affluent culture are on
display.
The enthusiasm of crowd enjoying every moment of
the traditional dances
backed by high-pitched music is a sight to behold. The
turban-tying
competition and Mr. Desert Contest add to the festive celebrations. The
grand finale of the festival is the exhilarating
camel ride trip to the
sand dunes where you can view
musicians performing on the dunes.
