Picture of the day: Men show off thier moustache during a moustache competition

These remarkable photos show a moustache growing competition so revered its participants spend years growing facial hair long enough to be swung through the air like rope.
 Many contestants arrived with hair curled into buns on the sides of their faces but once released, were revealed to be meters long and touching the ground.

 

The Pushkar Fair, also known as the Pushkar ka Mela, is held on the banks of Pushkar Lake every November at the time of the Kartik Purnima full moon.
