Almost all festivals and processions or occasions etc would be incomplete without a grand array of brightly decorated, well adorned elephants. The docile nature of this huge animal adds to the recreation and leisure of tourists in Jaipur.

Held annually in Jaipur by the Tourism department, the festivity glitters more with a graceful row of elephants welcoming the tourists and participants. Participants of elephant polo also take part into elephant race.
