The Jaisalmer Desert Festival (Maru utsav) is a vibrant annual event held in February showcasing the culture and traditions of Rajasthan's desert region. It features folk music and dance performances, camel races, turban tying competitions, and more. The festival's highlight is the stunning backdrop of the Sam Sand Dunes, where travellers and locals alike enjoy the festivities against the backdrop of the Thar Desert's golden sands. It's a fantastic opportunity to experience Rajasthani culture in a unique setting.
