It is situated 11-kms from Ajmer (132 kms from Jaipur) along the bank of the Pushkar Lake.
Puskar has one of the few Brahma Temples in the country.
From a mere 14,000 to a massive 200,000, is how the population of Pushkar swells during the Pushkar Fair.
It is also the time when Hindu devotees come here to take a
dip in the holy waters of the sacred Pushkar Lake, to wash
away their sins.
The fair is held on the Kartik Purnima day falling in the month
of October or November and continues for around five days.
Livestock owners from all over the country meet at Pushkar
to trade. The fair at Pushkar involves not only livestock
trading but also pilgrimage and festivities.
The festival hosts around 50,000 camels which are sold,
decorated, shaved and raced. |
