1. An Amazing Gallery of
Camel Hair Art

2. • Throughout India, Pakistan and the Middle East you will
find camels. These domesticated even-toe ungulates are
not only hard workers, but they also provide milk and
meat. These animals are celebrated in a variety of festivals
including the world famous Bikaner Camel Festival in
Rajasthan, India and camel beauty pageants in Abu Dhabi
and the Cholistan Desert in Pakistan.
• According to photographer Osakabe Yasuo, this incredible
camel hair artwork can up to three years to create. For the
first two years, the hair is grown, trimmed and prepped.
For competitions, the hair is then trimmed into intricate
patterns and dyed for the dramatic effect you see below.
• Please enjoy this gallery of incredible camel art. Big thanks
to Osakabe and the other photographers for documenting
this fascinating tradition with such wonderful photos.
