During the festival, many events take place: Indians arrange camel races , competitions in hairdressing of camels or camels hair art, and the highlight of the holiday is a real beauty contest, in which all the same animals act as models.
Bikaner is an amazing city located in the heart of the desert, cars appeared here relatively recently, so the locals depended on camels for a very long time, since this was their only means of transportation. And today these animals are very revered as they are famous for their endurance, strength and beauty!
The camel, which is planned to be decorated in this way, is subjected to close attention to its wool for several years - it is grown and leveled, and then fabulous patterns are cut out on their body. The effect is incredible and amazing. It is a pity that one cannot ask what the camels themselves think about this.

It is clear that ordinary artists, creating canvases, also observe proportions. But there is a canvas, and in this case the “canvas” breathes, spits, relieves and often turns out to be not very agreeable. Plus, this living canvas has an uneven surface, which adds complexity to the drawing. But the "camel artists" successfully cope with all these difficulties.
