Jaipur to Pushkar Sacred Site Excursion
Meet your tour guide, who will pick you up from your hotel, railway station, or airport in Jaipur. Leave Jaipur for Pushkar. After two hours, you 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 bathe before offering 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 throughout the year, Pushkar in November, during its annual fair, becomes a colourful mass of people and celebrations, coinciding with the largest camel fair in the world, which comes alive in a spectacular explosion of colours, sounds, and activities. See 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, where you will be dropped off at your place.
