» Elephant Festival : Jaipur



Elephant Festival

This annual festival of Jaipur is unique in its concept which is celebrated in March and at the Chaughan stadium. A number of beautifully bejeweled and bedecked elephants march gloriously in a grand procession that savors of royal tastes and participate in several competitions and events at the time of Holi. There are dancers, musicians and a large number of onlookers who come there to witness this majestic event. The elephants move with poise in pageant, run races, play the regal game of polo, and finally participate in the spring festival of Holi. It is festival time with elephants typically celebrated one day before the Holi, Indian festival of colours.
