of eastern Rajasthan, is located 13 km from Ajmer, on the
edge of a small and attractive lake. Pushkar is a city of
400 temples and 52 bathing ghats. Pushkar prides itself on
being the site of the only temple of the Hindu God of
Creation, Brahma. In the month of Kartik each year,

of the largest cattle festival in Asia. You will find a
number of camels, horses, cows, mules, goats and sheep
complementary their masters to participate in the Pushkar
Festival. A seven-day festival is devoted absolutely to
these animals. Pushkar becomes bright with various hues of
colors. Thousands of men in large bright turbans, women in
pleated ghagaras wearing armful of colorful bangles and
bejeweled and children complete the setting of the fair.
The fair is predominantly a rural
gathering. Villagers come from special parts of the state
and bring their cattle with them. On fantastic sanddunes
camel, horse and bullock races are great crowd pullers. All
roads lead to the lake, which is flooded with pilgrims. The
movement of the crowd is like a tide of colour with currents
of crimson, yellow and turquoise.
