same day pushker | Jaipur | India

Pushkar is a holy city in Rajasthan, famous for its Brahma temple, lake, ghats, and bazaar. Pushkar is situated at a distance of 142 km from Jaipur. Pushkar is one of the five sacred dhams (pilgrimage site) for devout Hindus. The word ‘Pushkar’ means lotus flower, which is said to be the seat of Brahma, one of the Hindu holy trinity, who is worshipped as the creator of this world. The legend has it that the demon Vajra Nabha killed Brahma’s children, he in turn struck him with his weapon, a lotus flower. Vajra Nabha died with the impact, and the petals of the lotus fell at three places. One of them is Pushkar, where it gave birth to a lake. Brahma is supposed to have performed sacrifice at this lake on Kartik Purnima (the full moon day of the Kartik month (generally in the month of November)), hallowing the place.
