About
Pushkar, nestled in Rajasthan’s Ajmer district, is a centuries-old pilgrimage town famed for its serene Pushkar Lake, believed to be created when Lord Brahma dropped a lotus from his hand. It is home to the only Brahma Temple in the world, an architecturally distinctive sanctuary with a red spire and four‑faced idol. The vibrant Pushkar Camel Fair, held annually around Kartik Purnima, draws over 200,000 visitors for camel races, livestock trading, folk performances, and local crafts. Pilgrims and travelers alike bathe at one of the 52 ghats surrounding the lake, followed by witnessing the devotional evening aarti rituals. Pushkar’s colorful markets and spiritual cafés, its alcohol‑and‑meat‑free ethos, and gentle desert backdrop make it a uniquely tranquil and spiritual destination. Also from a stay perspective few of the most beautiful hostels are in Pushkar- with great architecture
