Itinerary
-
A Visit to Pushkar
- Meet the tour guide, who will pick you up from your hotel, railway station or airport in Jaipur.
- Leave Jaipur for Pushkar. After two hours, we will reach Pushkar.
- Visit the Brahma Temple. Although he has no other temple sacred to his memory, Brahma seems to have taken full advantage of the only temple where prayers are offered to him. Not only did he perform a Yagya (ritual fire ceremony) here, but he also dropped a sacred lotus from his hands to create a lake where people take a bath before they offer prayers. There is a silver turtle at the temple entrance, considered a symbol of his transport. Brahma Temple is the best-known temple in Pushkar, but there are also four hundred other temples lining the banks of the lake. Though people visit here throughout the year, Pushkar in November, during the time of its annual fair, comprises a colourful mass of people and celebrations coinciding with the largest camel fair held in the world, which comes alive during the fair in a spectacular explosion of colours, sounds and activities.
- See the Pushkar Lake. The creation of Pushkar Lake as an artificial lake is also credited to the 12th century AD when a dam was built across the headwaters of the Luni River. The 10th Sikh guru, Guru Govind Singh (1666–1708), is said to have recited the Sikh sacred text Guru Granth Sahib on the banks of the lake.
- Return to Jaipur, and you will be dropped off at your place in Jaipur.
