 Mewar Festival




The Mewar Festival is celebrated to welcome the advent of spring. It coincides with the festival of Gangaur in Udaipur, and has a unique charm about it. The women folk gather to dress the images of Isar and Gangaur and then carry them in a ceremonial procession through different parts of the city. The procession winds its way to the Gangaur Ghat at Lake Pichhola. Here, the images are transferred to special boats amidst much singing and festivity.

The Mewar Festival in Udaipur is observed to greet the arrival of spring season. It is celebrated on quite a similar pattern as Gangaur festival. However being distinct from it and characterized by unique charm, the Udaipur Mewar Festival enjoys both religious and cultural significance.

Women folk attired in bright dresses flocks at one place to mark the celebration of Mewar Festival, Udaipur. They gather at one point and dress the images of Isar and Gangaur wonderfully. Later, they take these elegantly adorned images of Isar and Gangaur for ceremonial procession. This procession takes various routes of the city and proceeds to the Gangaur Ghat at Lake Pichhola. It is at this site that images are placed onto special boats. With this unrestrained festivities begin and people indulge in singing.

However that was the religious part of the Mewar Festival in Udaipur. Once this part is over the cultural part takes over. The local people sing enchanting songs, perform dances and other programs. The festival reaches its culmination with the ostentatious display of fireworks.
