The 10 Best Pushkar Tours 2019 - Rajasthan

                                                  PUSHKAR

Pushkar is best known for two things: Brahma Temple, one of the few temples on earth dedicated to the Hindu god of creation, and its annual Camel Fair. The fair attracts an interesting mix of devout Hindus and backpackers, though it’s ideal for anyone with an interest in Indian culture and religion or just those looking to take a day trip from Jaipur.

Private walking tours of Pushkar focus on its spiritual and cultural facets, while sightseeing excursions come with a guide and transportation.

Things to Know Before You Go

• Wear sunscreen and comfortable shoes; Pushkar is sunny most of the time and a good part of the town is pedestrian-only.
• Most Pushkar temples are not open to foreigners or non-Hindus.
• Pushkar’s dusty roads and many steps make it difficult to navigate with a wheelchair.
• Beware of “special lassis” in restaurants; they may contain a legal cannabis-based mixture known as bhang, which has psychedelic effects.
• Some priests wait by the lake here and try to get unsuspecting tourists to pay for rituals. If someone clad in white offers you a flower to throw into the lake, you may wish to decline.

How to Get There

Pushkar is a few hours’ drives from Jaipur. The easiest way to get there is by car or as part of an organized tour. Travelers can also take a train from Delhi or Jaipur to nearby Ajmer Junction and then switch to a taxi or bus directly to Pushkar.

When to Get There

Pushkar is a year-round destination. It’s at its busiest during the annual Camel Fair, which takes place over a week during the holy month of Kartik (usually in October or November). During this time, hotel rates spike and desert camps open up around the area to provide additional lodging. April to June can be unbearably hot, with temperatures hovering well over 100°F (38°C), while December–February offers relatively cooler temples and fewer tourists.

Pushkar Camel Fair

Pushkar’s biggest draw is its annual camel fair, the largest in the world. Camel traders come to the town from across Rajasthan to sell their camels (and horses) and camelid accessories. There are also plenty of festivities, from mustache-length competitions to camel beauty contests, along with living music, dance, and amusement park-style attractions.

                                        HISTORY

Once Lord Brahma came to know that a demon, Vajranash, was killing people here so  Lord Brahma intoned a mantra on a lotus flower and killed the demon. During this process,pushkar camel fair,pushkar resort,pushkar mela

the parts of flower fell on three places which were later known as Jestha, Madhya and KanisthaPushkar.

Later accompanied by Brahmanas and other devas, or demigods, Lord Brahma went to Puskar to perform a sacrifice. To perform his yajna peacefully without being attacked by the demons, he created the hills around the Pushkar Ratnagiri in the south, Nilgiri in the north, Sanchoora in the west and Suryagiri in the east and positioned demigods there to protect the yajna performance. Such Yajna sacrifices are to be performed along with one’s wife, so when the arrangements for the sacrifice were complete, Lord Brahma sent Narada rsi, the sage among the devas, to bring Sarasvati, Lord Brahma’s consort. But Sarasvati was not ready to leave, so Narada returned to Puskar alone.

According to astrological calculations, the sacrifice had to begin at once, so Brahma asked Indra, the king of the heavenly planets, to provide him a suitable wife to assist in the sacrifice. Lord Indra chose a cowherd girl, but the sacrifice required that the girl is of the brahmana caste. So the devas purified the girl, or elevated her caste, bypassing her through a cow (into the cow’s mouth and out the other end), because in Vedic culture cows are considered pure and of the same caste as the Brahmanas. The girl then became known as Gayatri, “one who was pulled through a cow.” She married Brahma and performed the yajna. When Saraswati arrived and saw that Brahma had married without her permission, so she cursed Brahma saying that he would be worshiped in Pushkar only. Saraswati (Savitri) also cursed Indra to be easily defeated in battles, Lord Vishnu to suffer the separation from his wife as a human, the fire-god Agni who was offered the yajna to be all-devouring and the priests performing the yajna to be poor. Endowed by the powers of yajna, Gayatri, however, diluted Saraswati 's curse, blessing Pushkar to be the king of pilgrimages, Indra would always retain his heaven, Vishnu would be born as the human Rama and finally unite with his consort and the priests would become scholars and be venerated. Enraged Saraswati (Savitri) went and established a temple on top of Ratnagiri, the hill a little south of Pushkar. Today pilgrims to Puskar can visit temples of both Sarasvati Devi and Gayatri Devi.  Sarasvati Devi is also present in this world in the form of a river. Five branches of that river Sarasvati, Supra, Candra, Kanaka, and Nandaflow in the Puskar area, but at present, they are invisible to ordinary eyes.
