One of the ancient cities of India, Pushkar is widely renowned for the Pushkar Lake, which is believed to have been formed by the tears of Lord Shiva and the Brahma Temple. This legendary city of Pushkar is associated with Lord Brahma, the creator deity, as it is said that Lord Brahma himself performed a yajna to protect the entire region from demon attacks. This magnificent place finds its place in the Mahabharata and Vaman Purana epics. An important city of Rajputana, Pushkar was ruled by the Chauhan Gurgi and then the Kanphati-Jogi.

Additionally, since he conducted the yajna in this region, the lake here is considered sacred, and people usually take a holy dip in its waters at least once in their lifetime. Many temples in the mystical land were destroyed by the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, and it is here that the Brahma Temple stands, along with several other ancient temples, the holy lake, majestic mountains, and the breathtaking Mahal.
