Geography & terrain

Pushkar lies in the Ajmer district of Rajasthan, 15 km from Ajmer and 145 km from Jaipur — the holy lake town of the region, its Brahma temple, the ghats and the camel fair set on the Aravalli's edge.

History & culture

The town's story runs with the 12th-century temple era — the holy town of the 12th-century Brahma temple and the 52 ghats of the lake, with the town's modern role as the pilgrimage of the Rajasthan circuit and the home of the 12th-century Brahma shrine and the 2010 fair grounds and the temple lanes; the town's history of the 14th-century temple and the camel fair of the Kartik Purnima and the ghat aartis, gives Pushkar its holy-town character.
