| Fair and festivals
of Jaipur :- |
Rajasthan
is a state of fairs and festivals. Jaipur, being its capital,
leads the zeal and religious devotion of the people who celebrate
all their festivals with special fervor and enthusiasm. There
is a long list of festivals and almost each day is a celebration
or an even in the city but we have selected the events that
are unique to the city of Jaipur and are almost an inseparable
element of the cultural identity of the capital of the state.
Most of the festivals fall during the period from monsoons to
spring, beginning with Teej and commencing with Gangaur festival.
Both these festivals are dedicated to Goddess Parvati and her
infallible fidelity to her husband, Lord Shiva.
Gangaur Festival
Gangaur Festival is usually celebrated in March or April, a
fortnight after Holi. It is the most colorful and important
festival of Rajasthan. The womenfolk worship Goddess Gauri,
the consort of Lord Shiva for marital bliss, long lives of their
husbands and conjugal happiness. During this eighteen-day long
festival, the girls and married women dress up in their traditional
ghaghras and cholis. The idols and images of the Goddess are
ornamented in beautiful dresses and exotic jewellery and women
make offerings to her for her blessings with great devotion.
Elephant Festival
Celebrated in March, this annual festival of Jaipur is unique
in its concept. A number of beautifully bejeweled and bedecked
elephants march gloriously in a grand procession that savors
of royal tastes and participate in several competitions and
events at the time of Holi. The giant pets run races and play
polo at Chaugan in Jaipur, the venue of the Elephant Festival,
with their long trunks during the festival. There are dancers,
musicians and a large number of onlookers who come there to
witness this majestic event. The painted elephants covered with
richly embroidered velvets look grand and cute at the same time.
Kite Festival
Makar Sahnkranti celebrated on 14th January every year is a
day of kite flying at Jaipur. People fly kites with riotous
celebration. Every kite cut loose is an even accompanied by
shouts of 'Woh Kata!' and sky seems nothing more than a big
collage of colorful kites in all shapes and designs. In Jaipur,
the Desert Kite Festival is held in every five years where expert
kite makers flaunt their kites, which are sometimes huge in
sizes and often carry social messages or even caricatures of
famous personalities. Open to all, tourists can also participate
in various kite-flying competitions.
Teej Festival
Celebrated usually during the first week of August, Teej festival
is marked by rituals and fasts that accompany the monsoon clouds.
The newly washed fields look fresh and beautiful and peacocks
can often be spotted dancing during the season, as women sing
Teej songs and enjoy rope swings in their gardens. Teej marks
the beginning of the series of festivals and fairs that ends
only with the Spring festival of Gangaur. Especially in Jaipur,
Teej is celebrated with a special fervor and showers of rain
on this day pep up the joyous celebrations by several degrees.
It is considered a day for lovers and would-be life partners
and young boys and girls come to the city from nearby villages,
singing and dancing on bullock and camel carts and open tractor-trailers.
The procession on Teej is the highlight of the festival. |
