In rural India, the attributes of a fair are the accessibility, the shopping spree and a get-together. Some of the famous fairs include Pushkar camel fair in Rajasthan and Tarnetar fair in Gujarat. People from nearby towns and villages gather to sell their wares at these fairs. |
 Some festivals owe their popularity to the cultural landmarks. Three such examples are the Surajkund Crafts Mela , Khajuraho Dance Festival and the Vasantha Habba. Artisans from all over the country gather at Surajkund to display their craft works. The Khajuraho Dance festival and the Vasantha Habba is a celebration of the various Indian Dances. |
 A carnival rivaling the Rio celebrations is an annual feature of Goa. A three-day prelude to the festival of Lent, the carnival is a vibrant celebration. Men and women dance to the tune of music. The celebrations include parades, tableaus and games. People wear colorful clothing and masks while participating in the carnival.
