Pushkar Lake Pushkar
This lake is well located at the edge of the desert and is surrounded by the hills from
the three sides. This lake separates Pushkar from Ajmer in association with the snake
mountain 'Nag Parvat'.
The legend associated with the Pushkar city says that Lord Brahma coined this place
when he was looking for a place for conducting a 'Yagya'. It is said that the Pushkar Lake
originated from the lotus flower, which slipped from his hand and fell on the hill.
Therefore the Brahma temple situated here is also quite famous as a pilgrimage destination
amongst Hindus. The Panchkund and the cave of the saint Agastya are also there on this
mountain.
Brahma Temple Pushkar
The only temple dedicated to Lord Brahma in India dates back to 14th century. The
belief related to this one and only Brahma temple in India is that when Lord Brahma has to
start the 'Yagya' at Pushkar, his wife Savitri was not there so he started the rituals on
time without Savitri. Savitri got annoyed by his act and told that he (Brahma) would be
worshipped only at Pushkar and nowhere else.
