Pushkar — one of only 3 Brahmā temples in India
Hindu / Smarta / Brahma-worship
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.
India's sacred landscape embraces all faith-traditions — Hindu, Jain, Buddhist, Christian, Muslim, Sikh, Jewish, Zoroastrian, tribal, regional-folk — each with its own cosmology. This entry honors Hindu on its own terms.
