Pushkar - Gurus, Gods And Camels

by Janine Patitucci

Each fall, thousands of Indian nomads, gypsies, sadhus, pilgrims, camels, and tourists travel to the state of Rajasthan, India for the Pushkar Camel Fair. Every group comes for its own reason. For Hindus, it is a celebration of the God Brahma who was born in the village lake. Nomads and camel owners come to trade and do business. For tourists, it is an amalgam of all things for which India has to offer. In 2008, 10 professional photographers, and close friends, came together to document the event. The result is the definitive image of the Pushkar Camel Fair.
