The Pushkar Lake with more than 50 bathing ghats is said to cleanse you of your sins. A dip in it is required before offering prayers in the Brahma Temple. But there is more to that. The lake is full of varieties of fish and a visiting place to many migratory birds during certain seasons.
The Brahma Temple situated beside the Pushkar Lake is one of its kinds. The bird motif used in the place is unique one. The place is packed with architectural features. The pillared outdoor hall, stone slabs combined with molted lead in the inside, the marble steps are all very fascinating to the tourists.
Rangji temple is one of the very famous temples of Rajasthan in Pushkar. The temple is a dedication to the Lord Vishnu, incarnation Lord Rangji.
The Savitri Temple located on the top of Ratnagiri Hills was built in 1687. It is said to be the place where Goddess Savitri rested for a while. Presently, Goddesses Savitri and Gayatri are being prayed in the temple. The route to the temple gives ample opportunities for trekking and enjoying the natural environment.
This is the largest Royal residence in the town. The structure had been built beside the Sarovar Lake by Raja man Singh-1 as a retreat palace. The interiors of the palace are a treat to the visitors reflecting the Rajasthani elements combined with Mughal architecture.
This is the birth place of Meera Bai, the saint turned princess who had undying faith on Lord Krishna. The place is visited by devotees of Lord Krishna as well. The city is now the trading point in Pushkar. But there are many more structures that are quite appealing to the visitors.
