Tour to Pushkar Fair

Pushkar FairPushkar is a small but very important pilgrimage town for Hindus of India. The famous town is located at about 135 km from Jaipur and 10 km from Ajmer. The Brahma Temple perhaps the only temple dedicated to Lord Brahma in India is located close to sacred Pushkar Lake and is considered to be one of the holiest pilgrimage sites in India. Besides, being an important pilgrimage center for Hindus, Pushkar is also known for its annual Pushkar fair, which has a religious as well as traditional character. The festival is held for 5 days during the occasion of Karthik Purnima, which generally falls in the month of October and November every year. Thousands of devotees from all over the world throng to the lake to take a sacred dip into it, as the Hindus believe that a dip in the holy Pushkar Lake is very auspicious at this time.

On this auspicious occasion, the largest camel fair of India is held at Pushkar. Camels coming to the fair are decorated with great care and wear jewelry of silver and beads. The silver bells and bangles around their ankles make an interesting sound when they walk. An interesting feature of camels coming in the fair is piercing of their nose, which is considered a must ritual. In this fair mass trading of camel is done. Besides camels other cattle are also bought and sold. It's estimated that over 25,000 camels are traded in the Pushkar fair, making it the largest camel fair of the world.

Other than the Brahma Temple and sacred Pushkar Lake, the town has many other important Hindu temples such as the famous Savitri Temple, Rangji or Rangnath Temple, Varah Temple and Apteshwar Temple.
