The Camel Festival is a colorful fair where thousands of people, camels and horses come from all parts of the nation every year. This village is situated on the edge of a small lake that is said to be of divine origin. According to tradition a lotus flower fell from the hand of Brahma while he was absorbed in meditation and from the petals gushed water that gave rise to the Pushkar lake. Along with the religious anniversary, a great festival has arisen over the centuries.

A wide-angle lens. Would be useful for some landscape scene to fit everything into the frame.
A versatile travel zoom, such as 24-105mm or similar. This will come in handy when you need to zoom in town. In india you will see many scene to capture and a zoom is a must.I don’t suggest a dedicated telephoto, but having something with more reach will definitely help.

A tripod for the panoramic picture along the sea area and night photography.

What eat in Pushkar Mela

Photographing the Pushkar Mela without eating Local food is a grave sin. In fact it would be an incomplete Workshop. So during this day we will taste amazing ethnic food recipes. Indeed the Rajasthan’s cuisine is rich and diverse alike its culture and tradition. So any photographers will be delighted to explore the gastronomic delights in this desert state. It is home to dominant flavors as the climate here is arid which allows for the production of famous Indian spices used in the various iconic dishes made here.The culinary style of the region to a great extent shaped up according to the bellicose lifestyle of the natives. Unavailability of a variety of fresh vegetables, fruits and other ingredients and scarcity of water due to the arid nature of the region has profound effect on the cooking style of the locals.
