Pushkar Lake
The pious Pushkar Lake, believed to have been created by the falling of
lotus from the hand of Lord Brahma. It is considered to be as old as the
creation. The lake is considered as one of the most sacred spots, and
believed that one dip in the waters of lake on Kartika Poornima is equivalent
to performing yagnas for several hundred years.
Pushkar Boat Temple
Pushkar boasts temples, though few are as ancient as you might expect
at such an important pilgrimage site, since many were deserted by Aurangzeb
and subsequently rebuilt. The most famous is the Brahma Temple, said to
be one of the few temples in the world dedicated to this deity. It's marked
by red spire, and over the entrance gateway is the hans, or goose symbol,
of Brahma, who is said to have personally chosen Pushkar as its site
Savitri Temple
A temple dedicated to the first wife of Lord Brahma the Savitri temple
is located on the hill behind the Brahma Temple which can be reached by
a flight of steps. The temple offers a panoramic view of the lake and
the surrounding desertscape.
