Pushkar Fair : History


Pushkar has the world famous Brahma temple and Sarovar.

According to a popular myth Lord Brahma was on his way to search for a suitable place to perform a 'Yagna' (a fire sacrifice) while contemplating, a lotus fell from his hand on the earth and water sprouted from that place.

One of the places where the Yagna was performed was Pushkar.


The famous Pushkar sarovar (Lake) has 52 ghats surrounding it. During a visit to the holy city of Pushkar it is considered to be very sacred to take a dip in the Lake.


On the full moon day of Kartik Purnima thousands of devotees throng the place to take a holy bath in Pushkar Sarovar.
