Ashwa Poojan Ceremony

Ashwa Poojan
Ashwa Poojan is proud testimony to the:
Acknowledgement of the historic ties between the Rajput and the horse.
Commitment to and patronage of the Marwari breed of horses
Regality of the horse and man's fascination for it
The Regal Festival of Ashwa Poojan -- a testimony to the living heritage of Eternal Mewar: is the "worship of the horse", commemorating the historic bond and interdependence between the rajput (significant community of warrior clans) and the horse. The highlight of the Regal Festival of Ashwa Poojan is indeed the regal procession, where Shriji Arvind Singh Mewar, the 76th. Custodian of the House of Mewar arrives in a 1905 vintage 'English Royal Landau Six--in-Hand', purchased from Dykes and Co., Calcutta in the reign of Maharana Fateh Singhji (1884-1930).
