Brahma Temple (Jagatpita Brahma Mandir) –
The most important temple in Pushkar is the temple of Lord Brahma, one of the holy trinity of Hinduism. The temple enshrines a life-size idol of Lord Brahma.
Pushkar Lake –
The prime attraction of Pushkar is the Pushkar Lake. Pushkar has become a place of Hindu pilgrimage because of this holy lake. Legend has it that this lake was consecrated to Lord Brahma, the creator of the universe when a lotus dropped from his hand into the vale and a lake emerged in that place.
Pushkar Lake is surrounded by 52 bathing ghats , where pilgrims throng in large numbers to take a sacred bath, especially around Kartik Poornima when the Pushkar Fair is held. A dip in the sacred lake is believed to cleanse sins and cure skin diseases.
My journey
It was about three or four months ago when I had to go to pushkar for some work. A friend of mine was with me.
I had run away from Jaipur at 1:00pm and I reached Ajmer by 4:00pm. And till 4-5:00pm we reached Pushkar.
When we arrived there, we arranged to stay the night first. After that we started walking in pushkar.
We first went to the temple of Brahma ji. Made of red colour, this temple was really amazing.
After that we all roam around 52 ghats.
