Pushkar Lake- A Holy Pilgrimage Center


The picturesque Holy Pushkar Lake is an important pilgrimage spot for the Hindus. It has a mythological significiance associated with it.According to the myth, Lord Brahma was on his way to search for a suitable place to perform a 'Yagna' (a fire sacrifice), in the meanwhile, a lotus fell from his hand on the earth and water sprouted from three places - one of them being Pushkar where Lord Brahma performed his yagna.

The Holy Pushkar Lake has 52 ghats and pilgrims taking a ritual dip in the lake is a common sight. It is considered to be a very important pilgrimage centre and devout Hindus should visit it at least once in their lifetime.

Every year thousands of devotees throng the Holy Pushkar Lake around the full moon day of Kartik Purnima in October-November to take a holy dip in the lake and pray to Lord Brahma to preserve the universe.
