The city of
Nagaur, located between Jodhpur and Bikaner, dates back
to the 4th century and once was at the centre of Muslim
invasions from Central Asia. The Nagaur Fort complex
encompasses an interesting variety of palaces, mosques,
temples, intricate baoris (reservoirs), water systems,
fountains, open terraces and pleasure gardens.
The
Welcomheritage Royal Camp, within the Nagaur Fort,
borrows from and expands on the concept of royal safari
and 'shikar' hunting camps of a bygone age. The luxury
tents, each with verandah, bedroom and bathroom, are
custom made, using the finest of Marwar traditional
skills and weaving in the best of modern comforts. |

| With
dusk comes the campfire, around which various performances
indigenous to the Thar desert take place - be it music and
dance or magic or puppet shows, juggling, flame throwing…
Similar camps
are set up during the Pushkar Camel & Cattle Fair as well
as the Jaisalmer Desert Fair. The camp at Nagaur is more
permanent and is set up from October to March every year.
Nagaur too,
like Pushkar, has a week-long cattle fair that takes place in
late January or early February where thousands of people
congregate and various festivities take place alongside the
traditional cattle-trading. |
