Introduction to Pushkar
Pushkar is a renowned town in Rajasthan, known for its sacred Brahma temple, serene lake, ghats, and vibrant market. Located approximately 142 kilometers from Jaipur, Pushkar is one of the five holy dhams that Hindus visit on their pilgrimages. The name “Pushkar” means “lotus flower,” and it is believed to be the home of Brahma, one of the holy trinity in Hinduism, honored as the creator of the world.
The Legend of Pushkar
According to legend, when the demon Vajra Nabha killed Brahma’s children, Brahma struck him with a lotus flower, causing the demon’s death and the flower’s petals to fall at three different locations, forming the holy Pushkar Lake. On Kartik Purnima, the full moon day in the Kartik month (usually November), Brahma is said to have made an offering at this lake, rendering it sacred.
Key Attractions in Pushkar
Even though Brahma is the creator of the world, his temple in Pushkar is one of the few dedicated to him. This ancient and important holy place is also known as Adi Teerth or Teertharaj. Brahma’s temple is not as numerous as those of other deities like Vishnu, Shiva, and Ganesh, because he is not believed to have a significant influence on daily life. Nevertheless, the Brahma Temple in Pushkar is a must-visit.
