Desert Festival – This popular festival of Jaisalmer happens during the full moon in February. The desert livens up with a range of Rajasthani dances like Gangaur, Ghoomer and many others. The highlights are the turban tying competition and the Mr. Desert contest after which the festival concludes with a sound and light show.
Elephant Festival - The Elephant Festival takes place at Jaipur. These mighty animals take the center stage and gait majestically parading their colorfully decorated trunks and tusks followed by folk dancers. This is the occasion when Ganpathi, the elephant god is worshipped.
Gangaur spring festival - Rajasthan’s popular festival, the spring festival of Gangaur is celebrated in March/April.
