Rajasthan is known as the most
vibrant, colorful and culturally rich state of India. The
vibrant and lively people of Rajasthan are famous for their
passion for colorful costumes, dance, music and various
festivals. In fact, the true color of Rajasthan can best be seen
in the colorful and passionate celebration of various festival
and fairs, all round the year.
The whole atmosphere in Rajasthan becomes vibrant and colorful
during festival seasons. Be it men or women, young or old,
everyone wear new and colorful costumes. Everywhere you can see
men wearing red turbans and women vibrantly colored lehangas and
odhnis, which show the joyous spirit and passion of the people
towards life. Various colorful cultural programs of folk dance
and music add to the charm of these fairs and festivals. |
