If you’re planning to experience one of the most vibrant fairs in India, mark your calendar: the Pushkar Mela 2025 will take place from 30 October to 5 November in the historic town of Pushkar, Rajasthan. 

What is the Pushkar Mela?

Originally started as a livestock trading fair, the Pushkar Mela (also known as the Pushkar Camel Fair) has evolved into a grand cultural and spiritual event. This event draws thousands of visitors — both domestic and international — eager to witness the mix of rural trade, traditional competitions, folk art, religious rituals, and desert-town charm. 

Held annually near the full moon of the Kartik month in the Hindu calendar, it combines the trade of camels, horses, and cattle with cultural celebrations and the holy bath in the sacred Pushkar Lake. 

Highlights of the 2025 Edition

  • Dates: 30 October – 5 November 2025. 
  • Major attractions: Thousands of camels, horses and other livestock; camel races, horse shows, longest-moustache contest, turban‐tying, craft markets, cultural performances. 
  • Spiritual dimension: The holy dip at the lake, the aarti ceremonies at the ghats of Pushkar Lake. 
  • Cultural vibe: Folk dance, music, decorated animals, vibrant markets and Rajasthani rural life on display.
