break from their mundane regime and rejoice. The fairs and festivals offer

and cultural values of Rajasthanis.

reason to celebrate.There is a celebration for every religious occasion,
every change of season and every harvest, all invariably a reflection of the
genius of their arts and crafts and their ascetic refinement. Whole ambiance
of Rajasthan reverberates with festivities. Feast and treat are key basics
of these. Young or old, men or women, any class or any caste, no one remains
uninfluenced by the merrymaking at these events.
