Last night's revelries could
not keep us from waking up early in the morning to
see the cool golden sands of
Samm changing
colours in the sunrise. Explored around on camels
and proceeded back to Jaisalmer visiting different
villages, ruins and temples enroute.
We could quite imagine what it must be like to be
here during the highly popular three-day long
Desert Festival,
when the sands come alive in a magnificient
spectacle of colour, music and festivity. Folk music
apart, there are turban-tying competitions, Mr.
Desert contest, longest moustache competition, camel
races, camel polo, Gair
dancers and Fire dancers as well. The grand finale
is at the Samm dunes on a moonlit night where the
festivities continue.
Later in the day, we visited the
Lodurva ruins of
Jain Temples and the palaces at
Moolsagar and
Amarsagar.
