MEWAR FESTIVAL
AT
RAJASTHAN
The Mewar Festival is celebrated to welcome
the advent of spring. It coincides with the festival of Gangaur, and has a
unique charm about it. The festival of Gangaur is very significant for women of
Rajasthan. It is a time for them to dress up in their best clothes and
participate in the festival.
They gather to dress the images of Isar and
Gangaur and then carry them 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. The festival ends
with an amazing show of fireworks.
The
main highlight of the festival is the procession of colorfully attired women
carrying images of the Goddess Gauri (Parvathi) to the gangaur ghat
of Lake Pichola.
