The massive Mehangarh fort and the impresive Umaid Bhawan Palace which are symbols
of might and valour of the Rajputs, make Jodhpur an ideal location for the festival. It was originally known as the ‘Maand Festival’, a classical style of folk music centred on the romantic lifestyle of Rajasthan’s rulers. The festival is held for two days during the full moon of Sharad Purnima.
The Marwar festival displays the music and dance of the Marwar region. The spirited folk dancers gathered here, perform with zest and entertain the audience with Rajasthani folklore. These folk artistes bring to life the myth and legends of the area and sing songs in memory of the brave heroes.
