EVENT PARTNERS
The MARWAR CAMEL CULTURE FESTIVAL is a not-for-profit community festival.
We thank our festival partners for their generous support in making this event possible.
The members of the Godwar Camel Breeders Association put in a remarkable effort to help make this event a success. As a non-profit festival we do not have a big budget, and volunteers from the community provide many hours of practical assistance to get everything ready. We welcome you to our celebration of camel culture!
