They may not be the most unproblematic of creatures, but camels are amazing
to look at. This is the world's largest camel fair, and serious business. A
hard-working camel is an important source of income.
The Camel Fair
Not only were there thousands of camels, it was really a fair! Those

Tent city
The attendees brought their camels, and also their tents. Many do their
own cooking as well.

To support the fair there are all kinds of goods and services, such as
vegetable stands, food stalls, pot sellers and shoemakers.

A young fiddler
We met him outside the temple of Brahma, and he joined us for the camel
fair. I didn't want to buy the fiddle on offer, but opted for a fiddle
lesson instead.
