Thousands of camels, horses, and cattle descend on the small desert town of Pushkar to be traded by men (with their families in tow) from Rajasthan and beyond. We arrive in Pushkar a few days before the start of the fair when the camel trading is in full flow. The best time to take photos of the camel herders is in the morning and afternoon golden hours. Within the town of Pushkar itself there will be plenty of colourful characters to pictures of, such as young children dressed up as Shiva and other Indian deities.
