PRIME ATTRACTIONSBrahma Temple
The only temple in the world where Lord Brahma (The Creator of the world, according to Hindu mythology) is worshipped is the main attraction of Pushkar. The temple holds special significance for Hindus and has a life-size four-armed idol of Lord Brahma. The temple has marble floors and stairs where it is customary for the devotees to put coins to mark the births and deaths of their loved ones.
Pushkar Lake
Pushkar Lake is said to be very sacred and has said to be originated when the petals from Lord Brahma's lotus fell on the earth and a lake of clear blue water emerged at its place. 500 temples, 52 palaces, and 52 ghats surround the lake. It is at this lake that the world-renowned Pushkar fair is organized on the occasion of Kartik Purnima every year.
Savitri Temple
The temple is situated on the Ratnagiri Hill and is dedicated to Goddess Savitri, the wife of Lord Brahma. An interesting legend is attached to the temple. Once Lord Brahma had to perform a 'Yagna' (a holy rite to appease gods) on a very short notice. Since he could not do this without his wife, he married Gayatri, a local milkmaid after purifying her. When Savitri came to know of all this, she was furious and cursed her husband that he would never be worshipped anywhere except in Pushkar and that too only once a year. She then left for the Ratnagiri Hill and performed self-immolation.
