Pushkar Lake


The naturally formed Pushkar Lake is a major attraction for visitors and one of the most revered Hindu pilgrimage sites. There are 52 ghats and a 108 temples surrounding the lake, forming the center of the town, Pushkar tourism and its spirituality. A dip in the lake is believed to cleanse all past sins leading to moksha or salvation. In the evening, a common sight by the lake is to experience musicians, especially Nagara players, perform soulful folk music. One can also sit by, listen to or offer evening Arti / prayers on one of the ghats. The evenings by the lake, just before sunset, is a great time and place to walk around or just sit by and experience the spiritual and cultural spirit of Pushkar. Pujas can be booked online or offline from this website.

It is also believed that Brahma, the creator, led to the birth of this lake during his fight with the demon Vajranabha. When he struck the evil with his weapon, a lotus flower, some petals drifted down to earth in three places. One of them landed in here and PushkarLlake came into being. A much revered place, remember to take off your shoes at the gates.
