Pushkar Lake, Pushkar, Rajasthan |
 Pushkar Lake is one of the major tourist attractions in Rajasthan and features on the itinerary of each and every visitor. Legend has it that the creation of the lake was the result of a lotus falling off from Lord Brahma's hand who was desperately seeking a place to carry out a religious ceremony and a fire sacrifice popularly known as a Yagna. Water immediately gushed forth from the spot and in this way lake came into being.
Fifty two bathing ghats have been constructed around the periphery of the Pushkar Lake. The waters of each of these ghats is said to possess miraculous medicinal powers. While the water of Roop Tirth, a ghat in the Pushkar Lake, is believed to bestow graciousness and beauty, the water of the Naga Kund is considered to bear powers of fertility or birth.
Again there is the Mrikand Muni Kund that is believed to impart knowledge and wisdom while the waters of the Kapil Vyapi Kund has remedial powers and is said to be capable of healing leprosy. Pushkar Lake is one of the most visited tourist locations in Rajasthan. It is famous not just for its pious significance but also as a tourist attraction.
The sacred Pushkar Lake is said to have been created by the falling of lotus from the hand of Lord Brahma, the creator of the universe. It is believed to be as old as the creation. The lake is one of the most holy spots in the town, and it is said that a single dip in the waters of lake on Kartika Poornima is same as performing yagnas for several hundred years
Anything even remotely related to Pushkar Lake has a halo of sacredness and divinity. Legend has it that a dip in its waters cleanses all the sins and is the surest way to achieve salvation from the cycles of life. Circled by some five hundred odd temples, the lake has 52 ghats, which connect the temples to the water. These ghats were constructed by the rulers of the different erstwhile princely states of Rajasthan and some of them are aptly named after the states.
Pushkar is a small town located at a distance of 11 km from Ajmer in Rajasthan. It is famous all over the country as the most important pilgrimage visited by people all round the year. The Pushkar lake and the Brahma temple are the major attractions here.
 Every year on the day of auspicious Kartik Purnima, the full-moon phase of October/November, Pushkar Lake attracts thousands of pilgrims from all over the country to take a holy dip in its waters. It is believed that a dip at the lake on this auspicious day is equal to the penances done for one hundred years. The India profile offers tour packages for travel to Pushkar Lake.
