Brahmā of Pushkar

Tradition

Hindu / Smarta / Brahma-worship

The Place

  • Location: Pushkar, Ajmer, Rajasthan (26.4872°N, 74.5492°E)

Sacred Narrative

Pushkar is one of only 3 Brahmā temples in India (the other 2: Asotra, Rajasthan; Khedbrahma, Gujarat). Brahmā is rarely worshipped — a curse from his wife Sāvitrī made him so. The Pushkar Lake (Pushkar Saras) is one of the 5 sacred lakes of Hindu tradition. Annual Pushkar Kārtika Pūrṇimā (November) is a massive 7-day fair — the world's largest camel fair, drawing half a million pilgrims + traders. Pilgrims bathe in the lake to erase lifetime sins.
