| Marwar Festival is held every year in memory
of the heroes of Rajasthan. The festival is held in the month of Ashwin
(September-October) in Jodhpur, for two days during the full moon of Sharad
Poornima. |
|
| Originally known as the Maand Festival, this
festival features folk music centred on the romantic lifestyle of Rajasthan's
rulers. This festival is devoted to the music and dance of the Marwar region
and offers a good opportunity to see the folk dancers and singers who assemble
here and provide hours of lively entertainment. These folk artists provide a
glimpse of the days of yore, of battles and valiant heroes who still live on in
their songs. |

| Other attractions at the festival are the
camel tattoo show and polo. The impressive Umaid Bhawan Palace, Mandore and
Mehrangarh Fort, which are symbols of might and valour, provide the ideal venue
for the cultural extravaganza, an integral part of the festival. |
