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.
