As a part of the famous Pushkar Fair, RTDC has introduced the

Pal, Sadanand Dhume, Sheen Kaaf Nizam, Aruna Roy, Kota Neelima,
Veddan Sudhir and Gafaruddin Mewati to meet and interact
with the vast number of visitors during the Pushkar Fair. The
festival will bring writers, poets, book lovers, publishers,
performers and storytellers together to add to the mesmerizing
riot of colours, textures, hues and flavours that come alive
during this one action packed week.
This rendezvous will
help explore and discover the meeting points between
contemporary literature and folklore, oral traditions, legends,
myths and languages, which precisely define the spirit of
Pushkar. With the backdrop of the Aravali Hills on one side and
sand dunes on the other, the annual Pushkar Fair is synonymous
to 7 days of exotic sojourn through the royal luxuries blended
with rustic beauty, spiritual solace, vivid colors of folk life,
live performances, desert sports, and unique competitions. |
