Come February and the usual golden landscape is transformed into a riot of colours. For three days, women bring out their brightest lehengas, bangles and odhnis; men polish their swords, oil their moustaches and starch their colourful pagris; camels are dressed in most beautiful seats with colorful tassels, mirrors and sequins; kalbeliya dancers hone their moves; folk dances are practiced with a renewed fervour, and camels are spruced up for races, as the desert town wears a festive look. The Desert Festival of Jaisalmer brings out the best that the city has to offer for the tourists. The opening ceremony is a spectacular extravaganza that should be attended by all means.
