The Mewar Festival is celebrated to welcome the advent of

significant for women of Rajasthan. It is a time for them to dress up in
their best clothes and participate in the festival.

in a ceremonial procession through different parts of the city. The
procession winds its way to the Gangaur Ghat at
Lake Pichhola. Here, the images
are transferred to special boats amidst much singing and festivity.
Once the religious part of the festival is over, it is time for cultural
events where Rajasthani culture is portrayed through songs, dances and
