Pushkar Travel Guide

The significance of Pushkar town for the Hindus is immense. For it has the only temple of Lord Brahma (the creator). The Sarovar (Lake) here is formed of Brahma's lotus and a dip here is said to wash away all sins. This is the reason that on auspicious days around full moon of Hindu Kartika month, pilgrims from far and wide assemble here to take a holy dip. The huge human congregation turns into a huge fair that takes a commercial angle too, witnessing the hectic trading of cattle and other rural commodities. Pushkar Fair is the rare event, which has since time immortal been the center of pilgrimage, trading, fun, merry-making and socialization all taken together.

The town's spiritual character is very evident from the scores of temples around the lake. A walk around the bathing ghats of the lake is enough to soak oneself in the interesting religious rituals of India. All the year round the town remains very laid back and peaceful; many tourists like overstaying here.
