Pushkar, one of India’s oldest cities, holds a sacred place as one of the five sacred dhams for Hindus and is renowned for its unique Brahma Temple, the only one of its kind dedicated to Lord Brahma. Every November, Pushkar becomes the vibrant venue for the Pushkar Mela, one of India’s largest and most famous camel fairs. Over time, Pushkar has transformed from a purely religious destination into a multicultural hotspot, attracting travelers from around the globe, with cafes, boutiques, and craft stalls lining its streets.
Nestled amidst hills, Pushkar is located just 150 km from Jaipur in Rajasthan. The city enjoys a relatively cooler climate during the monsoon and winter months. The small Pushkar Lake is at the heart of the city, surrounded by hundreds of temples that draw devotees from across India. The ghats by the lake come alive with worshippers immersed in the peaceful ambiance, accompanied by the sounds of temple chants.
The Pushkar Fair, a multi-day event, is a must-see, drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors every year. The fair reaches its peak during the final five days of Kartik (October/November) and offers a mesmerizing celebration of vibrant colors, as camels, traders in traditional attire, folk music, dance performances, food stalls, and children’s games fill the scene.
Places to visit include Pushkar Lake, Brahmaji Temple, Savitri Mata Temple, Rangji Temple, Varaha Temple, as well as the Pushkar Adventure Camp & Camel Safari.
