Horses come to Pushkar camel fair
Nov 16 2008, Vincent Van Ross

For those who thought Pushkar is all about camel fairs, here is a surprise. In fact, cows and horses also come to Pushkar fair. But, they don’t get counted because they are stashed away in the backyard.

Everybody who walks along the main street.
