Pushkar

About

Discover Pushkar

Pushkar derives its name from pushpa (flower) and kar (hand) — legend holds that the sacred lake appeared where petals fell from the divine hands of Lord Brahma. One of very few towns in the world with a temple dedicated to Brahma the Creator, Pushkar draws Hindu pilgrims and curious travellers in equal measure to its 52 ghats, 400 temples and labyrinthine bazaars. India's most celebrated camel fair takes place here each November on the dunes beyond the town. Known also as the rose capital of India, Pushkar produces much of the country's rose-water and attar. The town is compact and best explored on foot — ghats, havelis, rooftop cafes and a hilltop Savitri Temple commanding views across the desert plain.
