Correct answer: C

Pushkar is in Rajasthan, near Ajmer.
The fair is both a cattle and camel market and a pilgrimage, since Pushkar holds one of the very few temples to Brahma.
It is held around the Kartik Purnima full moon, in November.

Worth noting

The combination is the point: the trading fair and the pilgrimage grew up together, because the same date brought people from a great distance.
