Desert Festival of Jaisalmer

Desert Festival of Jaisalmer 2013 will start from 23 Feb and and last till 25 Feb and it will be held in Jaisalmer, Rajisthan. This Indian festival displays culture of Rajisthani people and is really enjoyable. There are illuminations, dances, folk songs, games of many different kinds, awesome food to relish and I can't really say for sure but I guess story-tellers also tell tales.
