Pushkar’s dunes are buzzing with a camel market where traders from Rajasthan and other states are selling animals priced between ₹30,000 and ₹90,000, just before the fair’s official start.
The sandy outskirts of Pushkar have been transformed into a bustling camel market in the days leading up to the official opening of the International Pushkar Fair. Stalls and temporary enclosures line the dunes, offering a variety of camels for sale to visitors and traders alike.
Pashupalan herders from Rajasthan and several neighboring states have converged on the site, bringing their livestock to the fairground. Prices reported range from ₹30,000 to ₹90,000 per animal, reflecting differences in age, breed and training.
The market serves as a key attraction for fair‑goers, many of whom travel to Pushkar specifically to purchase or view camels, a traditional highlight of the event. Organisers have allowed the trade to proceed under standard regulations, ensuring that the commercial activity complements the cultural festivities of the fair.
