Why to visit Pushkar Lake

For Hindus, it is a sacred water body, and it is here that the Pushkar Fair takes place. Thousands of pilgrims flock here during the fair to take a holy bath, which is thought to cleanse sins. The lake is normally filled all year and is home to a variety of fish. Exotic vegetation and fauna can be found in the surrounding areas. During certain seasons, a large number of migratory birds visit the water body. When you're surrounded by excellent hotels and resorts, you'll never be short on options for lodging.

According to legend, Lord Brahma was looking for a location to hold a holy ritual. To guide him, he dropped a lotus. The lotus fell on what is today known as Pushkar Lake.

Pushkar Fair wonderfully exhibits the vibrancy of Rajasthan with exotic colors, dishes, dance, cattle fair and numerous entertaining contests and competitions

Special Tip

The best to visit is in the month of November on Kartik Poornima as you will get to attend the Pushkar Fair.
