Holy lake of Pushkar

The local’s ferverently believe that the holy lake has been around for the same time as the earth itself. A well over 50 Ghats surround the lake, where the pilgrims take a holy dip, particularly in the month of Kartik. Legend has it that Lord Brahma, from the Hindu trilogy of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, each symbolizing the eternal lifecycle of birth, preservation and destruction wanted to perform a yagna, a holy sacrifice. Pushkar according to legend means a pond created by flower; it was formed when Brahma dropped a lotus flower on the earth to determine a place for his Yajna. Naturally Brahma wanted to perform the Yagna at the most auspicious time but his consort Savitri whose presence was mandatory kept him waiting. Brahma married Gayatri and installed her for completing the yajna requirements. Savitri was infuriated, she cursed Brahma that he would be forgotten by people on earth and never worshipped. However on the pleas from other Gods, she relented that he could only be worshiped in Pushkar that is the explanation for no Brahma Temples to be found elsewhere.
