Pushkar Tours

At a height of 1539 feet is the shining pearl of the desert-Pushkar. It is the abode of Brahma, the creator of the universe and also a much-venerated place for meditation by the sages of India. Pushkar is mentioned in many Hindu scriptures like Vedas, Puranas, Ramayana and Mahabharata.

In the past it used to be a center of Buddhism as well. Pushkar is surrounded by four hills - Savitri, Gayatri, Papmochani and Nag. It is the Nag hill which divides Pushkar from Ajmer. Pushkar is at its ethereal best during sunrise and sunset. In Pushkar one finds the temples of Brahma, Vishnu and Maheswar from a maze of around 500 temples. The lanes and bylanes of Pushkar are dotted with colorful shops and the bylanes are so narrow that even Rickshaws can't ply here. So one has to travel on foot.

Pushkar is particularly renowned for its 15 ghats from among a total of 52 ghats. Gaughat, Barahaghat, Rajghat, Swarupghat and Panchavirghat are the most famous. If one takes bath in the holy Pushkar lake one attains moksha or liberation. There are many kunds or reservoirs in Pushkar and each has its own significance. For instance taking bath in Rupkund enhances beauty, Kapilkund banishes illness, Mukundamuni Ghat increases knowledge and so on and so forth.
