About Pushkar

Pushkar is a sacred Hindu town clustered around a holy lake, believed to have been created by a lotus flower dropped by Lord Brahma. This spiritual oasis in the desert is home to one of the very few temples in the world dedicated to Lord Brahma. The town has a tranquil, mystical vibe with 52 bathing ghats and numerous temples ringing the sacred lake. It attracts pilgrims and travelers seeking spiritual solace. The town comes alive during the famous annual Pushkar Camel Fair, a vibrant spectacle of culture, livestock trading, and festivities.
