The Marwar
Festival is held every year in memory of the heroes of
Rajasthan. The festival is held in the month of Ashwin
(September – October) in Jodhpur, for two days during the
full moon of Sharad Poornima.
 Originally
known as the Maand Festival, this festival features folk
music centered on the romantic lifestyle of Rajasthan's
rulers. This festival is devoted to the music and dance of
the Marwar region and offers a good opportunity to see the
folk dancers and singers who assemble here and provide hours
of lively entertainment. These folk artistes provide a
glimpse of the days of yore, of battles and valiant heroes
who still live on in their songs.
Other
attractions at the festival are the camel tattoo show and

Mehrangarh Fort, which are symbols of might and valour,
provide the ideal venue for the cultural extravaganza an
