Nearly 32 cultural troupes from various districts of Gujarat participates in the Dance and Musical Carnival. This festival is being held in them month of December and last for a 3-4 days but this time it was held for a month.

These performances are held in the Salt (White) desert but because of the unexpected rain showers it was cancelled for a few days so i was not able witness it myself. A grand Tent City of 400 tents, consisting of both air- conditioned and non-air-conditioned tents is set up on the outskirt of bordering village of Dhorado (Kutch). So i one can stay there and enjoy the cultural evenings and from this place they also organize bus tours to the city.
