Amongst the grandeur
of Rajasthan, discover a unique gem - Pushkar. Lord Brahma - The
creator of the world in a search for his abode on earth, performed
the supremely spiritual vedic yagna at Pushkar. It is thus the
site of the only Brahma Temple in the world.
A city of Pilgrimage from time immemorial with over 500 temples
and ghats Pushkar begets a legacy of timeless architectural
heritage. Pushkar radiates an ambience of peace and spirituality
that casts a lure to visit again and again.
The Pushkar Camel fair is amongst the most unique fairs of its
kind in the world. It is a combination of an animal fair and the
religious fair. Both the fairs are enchanting and have their own
unique aspects and quality. As per the Indian calendar the fair is
held in the first lunar cycle (New moon to full moon) in the month
of Kartik (Oct to Nov), culminating on the full moon. The last
four days of the fair are considered as the holiest occasion for
all the believers in Hinduism. A bath in the sacred Pushkar Lake
is considered the ultimate act of spirituality. The Pushkar cattle
fair takes place during the first nine days of the fair peaking
from the 5th day and finishing on the 9th day. The animals start
dispersing from the 9th day.
