The camels are meticulously taken care by their owners, ensuring that they sell at a high price. The bullocks too are healthy and fit, which attract a large number of buyers. While there is earnest bargaining which happens between the owners and buyers, the fair also has many other cultural activities. It is a delight to watch the folk music and dance performed by the locals dressed in their traditional attire. The very popular activities like tug of war, cockfights, camel and bullock races along with jugglery show, puppet show, etc; also keep the visitors engaged. In all, the four-day Naguar fair is a mix of entertainment, fun and frolic and should be in your bucket list during Rajasthan visit.
