Pendour Picks for Visiting Pushkar

One of the slightly more difficult places to get to in Rajasthan, Pushkar is definitely worth the journey! This idyllic town is one of the most important sites of Hindu pilgrimage in India. Over 400 temples encircle the holy lake, or Sarovar, as delicate white ghats lead down to the water’s edge. The most important of the temples is the Brahma Temple, also known as Jagatpita Brahma Mandir, dedicated to the Creator-god Brahma. 🔆🪷 This hidden gem with a laid back, alternative atmosphere caught our curiosity. From the Bazaars to the Ghats, restaurants with a view and the camels, there’s so much to see and do! 🐪 Check out our latest Featured Post - Pendour Picks for Visiting Pushkar!
