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.
