Merwar festival is one of the popular festivals of
Udaipur, Rajasthan India.
As it coincides with the Gangaur festival, people
dressed in colorful attires take out a procession of the images of Isar
and Gangaur and the Gangaur Ghat at Lake Pichhola. The idols are then
sent for boating for an hour in special boats and there is much
rejoicing and songs are sung. Then comes the time for cultural events
where one can see the culture of Rajasthan through songs, dances and
other programmes that are organized. At the end of the festival, there
is a beautiful display of fireworks.
