by numerous ghats & temples. The lake is very busy in the
morning, all the devotees & Sadhus take the holy bath in the
Sarovar.
Temples :: There are so many big & small temples in Pushkar. The
famous & major temple is the Bramha Temple.
Bramha Temple :: This world's
only temple devoted to Bramha, is situated near the
market in the old town. Apparently Lord Brahma wanted to perform
a Yagna (self mortification) at the lake, and when his wife
Savitri didn't attend, he married another woman on a whim.
Savitri, understandably annoyed, vowed that brahma would not be
worshipped anywhere else. It's marked by a red spire, and over
the entrance gateway is the hans, or the goose symbol, of Bramha.
