| Deepawali: The festival of light. Though Deepawali is celebrated all over India, Jaipur's Diwali is something special. Every corner of the city sparkles. With every building glowing, skyline filled with colorful light crackers and the Nahargarh fort over the hill seeming like a glittering palace in the sky, one cannot help remembering childhood fairytales. |
||
| Gangaur
(March): This festival is celebrated by the maidens and married women, and is dedicated to Gauri, the incarnation goddess Parvati, the consory of Lord Shiva. A colorful procession is taken out from Zanana Deohri of the City Palace, passing through Tripolia Bazaar, Gangauri Bazaar, Chaugan and converging near Talkatora. There are elephants, camels and dancers joining in the processions. |
||
| Teej
(July-August): A festival to mark the advent of monsoon. Processions, women dressed in bright colors and a lot of merriment prevails during Teej. Essentially a women’s festival, it is interesting to watch them enjoying in groups and at various bazaars where they turn up to shop in all their finery. |

| Donkey
Fair Khalkani Mata Mela (October): The donkeys day at Looniyabas near Sanganer. Thousands of donkeys from all over north India are brought here for buying and selling. The donkey races and sports are organized for the merriment people. A rare sight indeed. |

| Maker
Sankranti (January):
Celebrated
on the 14th of January, every year with traditional fervor, the
devotees take a holy dip in the tank at Galtaji. This is also the day
of kites at Jaipur. The activity has become a craze amongst the
citizens. You will hardly find a school kid over 10 or 12 in the
walled city who does not know flying kites. The phenomenon starts well
before the Makar Sakranti day. And continues even after the festival.
But on this day, it is a treat to watch the skyline of the Pink City.
An Unforgettable experience.
