About the Temple
Pushkar houses numerous temples few of which are ancient and desecrated by Aurangzeb but subsequently rebuilt. Among them the most popular and sacred is the Brahma temple which is one of its kind as only here in Pushkar one can find Brahma being worshiped with his consort Gayatri Devi.

It is a prominent pilgrimage center for Hindus located in Pushkar beyond Nagaparvat and the Anasagar lake. The ravishing ambiance of the place takes you over.

The place abounds in legends and folklores. It is believed that a 'yagna' was performed by Lord Brahma here with will all Gods and Goddesses. Another legend holds it a lotus fell from the hands of Lord Brahma and dropped into the this valley, thereby miraculously the ancient lake Sarovar sprung up. Pushkar literally means Push – Flower, Kar – Hand. Another legend goes like Brahma was cursed by his ex-wife that he would not be worshiped anywhere else in the world except this place.

The temple is marked by a red spire. Over the entrance gate way is the hans (the goose symbol) of Brahma. The interiors of the temple are beautifully done.
