Donkey Festival in jaipur

This 500-year-old celebration is held in a small village called Looniyabaas, around 20 kms from Jaipur. This event is typically held so that people can buy and sell donkeys and the animals are adorned with a number of colours and accessories. There are various activities also such as donkey races and while it’s fun to watch, it’s also an important event which helps support donkeys and ensures their better breeding and racing. Typically, the people who show up to this festival to trade in donkeys are those who use them in their daily work, such as washer men, farmers and potters.
