Summer Festival, Mount Abu
The Summer Festival at Mount Abu, is held every year in the month of
June. The three day festival is a feast of folk and classical
music and a window to the tribal life and culture of Rajasthan.
The festival begins with the singing of a ballad which is followed
by Gair, Ghoomar and Dhap folk dances which
enthrall the spectators.
Sporting events such as the boat race on the Nakki Lake
add variety to the festival. The Shame-e-Qawwalli is a much
awaited musical extravaganza. The grand finale of the festival
is a display of dazzling fireworks which adds to the tourist's delight.
