Amongst the grandeur of Rajasthan, discover a unique gem - Pushkar. Lord
Brahma - The creator of the world in a search for his abode on earth,
performed the supremely spiritual vedic yagna at Pushkar. It is thus the site
of the only Brahma Temple in the world.
A city of Pilgrimage from time immemorial with over 500 temples and ghats
Pushkar begets a legacy of timeless architectural heritage. Pushkar radiates
an ambience of peace and spirituality that casts a lure to visit again and
again.
The Pushkar Camel fair is amongst the most unique fairs of its kind in the
world. It is a combination of an animal fair and the religious fair. Both the
fairs are enchanting and have their own unique aspects and quality. As per the
Indian calendar the fair is held in the first lunar cycle (New moon to full
moon) in the month of Kartik (Oct to Nov), culminating on the full moon. The
last four days of the fair are considered as the holiest occasion for all the
believers in Hinduism. A bath in the sacred Pushkar Lake is considered the
ultimate act of spirituality. The Pushkar cattle fair takes place during the
first nine days of the fair peaking from the 5th day and finishing on the 9th
day. The animals start dispersing from the 9th day.
