Enjoy a glimpse of the beautiful culture of Rajasthan at Bikaner Camel festival.

Rajasthan is the epitome of the Indian culture and is known for its glimpses of royalty. It is famous for holding many magnificent forts, grandiose temples and havelis and also the expansive desert.

The humungous structure narrates the historical stories while the desert is the lifeline for “the ship of the desert”, the camel. This animal is known for surviving on one of the harshest and dry lands in India. Hence, it seems worth celebrating and dedicating a festival to their survival.
