History
Epics say that Pushkar floated to the surface when Brahma dropped a lotus flower on earth. Conforming to Hindu way of life, this pond-sized town is largely associated with a few renowned sacred places in India.
The rarity of Brahma temples in the world renders Pushkar enormous significance as it homes some of the renowned Brahma temples under its ambit.
So, rows of sacred ghats in bounty can be witnessed through a mystically magnetic lake enhancing its beauty unimaginably. What’s more, you can also enjoy hundreds of milky-coloured temples along with weather-touched domes. Sitting beneath a shifting, pale grey sky and witnessing the beauty of Pushkar is indeed magnificent.
