Meet Anmol: Haryana’s 1,500-Kg Buffalo Worth ₹23 Crore Whose Shine Outshines Actresses
The annual Pushkar Fair 2025 in Rajasthan has kicked off with unmatched excitement and record-breaking animals. A Rs 23-crore buffalo, a horse valued at ₹15 crore, , and even a cow standing just 16 inches tall are captivating traders and tourists alike.
Anmol, a 1,500-kg buffalo priced at ₹23 crore. Its Haryana based owner, Palmindra Gill, proudly describes him as “royalty on four legs.” Anmol’s daily diet includes milk, desi ghee, and dry fruits — a routine that costs several thousand rupees a day.

The fair officially runs from October 30 to November 5, but the desert town of Pushkar is already buzzing with early visitors. More than 4,300 animals have registered this year, including 3,028 horses and 1,306 camels.
Another major attraction is Shahbaz, a two-and-a-half-year-old Marwari stallion owned by Chandigarh-based breeder Gary Gill. The stallion has drawn huge crowds and lucrative offers. “Shahbaz comes from a prestigious lineage and has won multiple shows,” Gill said. “His covering fee is ₹2 lakh, and the asking price is ₹15 crore. I’ve already received offers up to ₹9 crore.”
Also turning heads is Rana, a buffalo from Ujjain valued at ₹25 lakh. Weighing 600 kg, Rana consumes a rich diet of gram flour, eggs, milk, and ghee worth ₹1,500 daily.
Not to be missed is Badal, an iconic Marwari stallion and father of 285 colts. Despite receiving offers of up to ₹11 crore, Badal’s owner has chosen not to sell him.
Adding to the diversity, Abhinav Tiwari from Jaipur’s Bagru has brought 15 cows of rare breeds, including one just 16 inches tall — believed to be the smallest cow at the fair.
Pushkar Fair 2025 focuses on safety, transparency, and animal welfare
Authorities have stepped up security and health measures to ensure a smooth event. DSP (Ajmer Rural) Ramchandra Chaudhary said the police have deployed more than 2,000 personnel across the fairgrounds. “All officers have been briefed to ensure that visitors face no inconvenience,” he said.
The Rajasthan Animal Husbandry Department is also on high alert. Officials are monitoring the health and safety of all animals brought to the fair. Joint Director Sunil Ghiya said veterinary doctors are stationed at checkpoints along the routes leading to Pushkar. “Every animal will be examined, registered, and tagged before entry,” he explained.
Large gatherings of livestock increase the risk of communicable diseases, so veterinary teams are on 24-hour duty. The department is also digitizing animal records for camels, cows, buffaloes, and horses to ensure transparency and traceability in livestock management.
Visitors can already feel the vibrant atmosphere. Livestock competitions for best milk producer, best horse breed, and best-dressed camel are under way. Traders say this year’s Pushkar Fair 2025 could see record valuations and unprecedented tourist turnout.
