Several activities and competitions are organized during the fair. While the first two days are reserved exclusively for camel trading, the rest are laden with fun for all visitors as the traders take a back seat. Needless to say, cattle and other livestock are also traded, but it’s camels that hold the spotlight at the Pushkar fair. Camel traders and villagers from cities and states miles away join at Pushkar to show off their prized beasts.
All cows, horses and camels are groomed and preened to look their best. Some camels are even shaved to form different kind of patterns. These camels are also accessorized interestingly. The accessories meant for camels include jewelry made of silver and beads such as silver bells and bangles around their ankles.
