Gangaur Walk – 

Gangaur is a colourful women’s festival that is mainly celebrated in Rajasthan. It starts in spring and lasts up to 16 days in Rajasthan. It is the celebration of marital happiness and unmarried girls follow this ritual for being blessed with a good husband. The celebration reaches their zenith on the final day when beautifully dressed ladies do the final day pooja of Gangaur made of clay or wood and a royal Gangaur procession starts from City Palace along with beautifully decorated elephants, chariots and folk artists; which find its way through the Pink City and ends at talkatora.
