Rajasthan
( Pushkar )
INTRODUCTION
The
holy town of Pushkar, located just 11Kms
from Ajmer, the holy lake of Pushkar is believed
to have been created by Lord Brahma himself. It
is an important as Banaras or Puri. Devout
Hindus believe that it is essential to visit
Pushkar at least once in their lifetime.
No pilgrimage is considered complete without a
dip in the holy Pushkar lake. Pushkar has as
many as 400 temples and 52 ghats and the only
temple in the country that is dedicated to
Brahma is to be found here. While Pushkar is a
heaven for the religiously inclined, it is also
the venue of one of the country's most
colourful cattle fairs-the Pushkar Fair. This
annual Fair is an unforgettable event when the
entire little town is taken over by lakhs of
animals and visitors. This is certainly the
right time to be in Pushkar.
Just
relax and let yourself go, you'll be carried
away by the heady exuberance that is so much a
part of the mela, ride camels, shop at the
colourful market, watch the sunset over the
every try wearing the gorgeous odhnis and
turbans. Do what you will, Pushkar Fair is a
once-in-a-lifetime experience that you will
want to repeat.
