The identity and soul of Pushkar is its sacred lake. It is believed that Lord Brahma had created this sacred lake from the lotus flower. In Hindu religion, it is considered very sacred and it is said that by taking bath here, all sins are washed away and the soul gets liberation. There are a total of 52 ghats around the lake, some of the major ones are Gau Ghat, Varah Ghat, Brahma Ghat, Yagya Ghat. Every ghat has its own historical and religious significance. These ghats were built by different dynasties, saints and pundits, hence the architecture of each ghat reflects different styles.

The world’s only Brahma temple is in Pushkar.

At the time of sunrise in the morning, when the first rays of the sun fall on the water of the lake, the whole scene becomes golden. In the evening, at sunset, amidst the aarti and the echo of bells, the water of the lake turns red-orange. Both these times are so charming that tourists sit on the ghats for hours and experience peace. Pushkar has the world’s only surviving Brahma temple, which is located at a short distance from the lake. This temple made of marble and stones is famous for its red peak and swan symbol.
