 India is a land of diverse communities, states and cultures. Rajasthan is counted amongst the biggest states of India. Every state has its own festivals and fairs. Rajasthan also has a renowned fair which is called the Pushkar Fair world-wide. The Pushkar fair is also known as the worlds' largest camel fair. There are several reasons behind this fair being so popular. There is a huge trade of camels that happens in this fair and that is why it is called the camel fair. Though it is called the camel fair, the trade of other domestic animals like cows, dogs, sheeps and goats also happen. The fair is held on the banks of the popular and sacred Pushkar Lake. People take a holly dip in the lake and offers prayers before they start to enjoy the fair.
