These animals are brought together to be bought and sold as well as exhibited. Although livestock trading is one of the primary purposes of this fare, religious pilgrimage is the other, which is why the tourist value of this fair is really high.

Origin & History
According to Hindu mythology, the deities once released a swan with a flower in its beak. The place where the flower dropped from the swan’s beak was deemed sacred because Lord Brahma performed a huge yagna there. This place came to be known as Pushkar, which literally translated means ‘to be born due to a flower’. This site has since then, become a sacred place of worship for practicing Hindus.

The costumes worn by the traders as well as other locals who visit the fair are Rajasthani interspersed with Gujarati. Women from both states wear a skirt known as the lehenga or the ghaghra along with an odhni which is a long, rectangular piece of cloth that is draped over the head and a top that is known as the choli. Men from both states usually wear a dhoti which is a long piece of cloth draped around the waist with gathers that fall around the legs, accompanied by a long or short jacket or kurta.
