The 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.
