Usually: The week before the Kartik full moon, usually in November (2026 full moon: Nov 24)Dates TBA

Tens of thousands of camels and cattle are traded on the dunes of this Rajasthan desert town, with camel beauty contests, folk performances and a holy-lake bath on the Kartik full moon.

Good to know

• Livestock trading happens early in the week, cultural shows later—arrive early for the real market.
• Desert tent camps are the signature stay—book months ahead.
