The Mewar Festival is
celebrated to welcome the advent of spring. It coincides
with the festival of Gangaur in Udaipur, and has a unique
charm about it. The women folk gather to dress the images
of Isar and Gangaur and then carry them in a ceremonial
procession through different parts of the city. The
procession winds its way to the Gangaur Ghat at Lake
Pichhola. Here, the images are transferred to special
boats amidst much singing and festivity. |

Once the religious
part of the festival is over, it is time for cultural
events where Rajasthani culture is portrayed through
songs, dances and other programmes. The festival
culminates with an impressive fireworks display.
