Come winter and the salt plains in the Rann of Kutch transform into a stunning white desert. This is also when the popular Rann Utsav is held, bringing a burst of colour to the barren land in the form of bedecked camels, colourful costumes and shimmering lights. This year, the festival began on November 1 and will continue till mid-February, and, as always, is being held across a sprawling hub in a village called Dhordo.
