Pushkar is one of India's holiest Hindu pilgrimage towns, built around the sacred Pushkar Lake — one of five sacred lakes in Hinduism. The town is home to the Brahma Temple, one of very few temples in the world dedicated to Lord Brahma, the creator deity. The lake's 52 bathing ghats and the colorful bazaars make Pushkar a uniquely spiritual and vibrant destination.
