Brahma
Temple, Pushkar
The Brahma temple is an important pilgrim centre for the Hindus. It is nestled
in the Pushkar valley which lies beyond Nagaparvat and the Anasagar lake. This
place, full of natural beauty, holds a special place in the hearts of Indians
for it is believed that Lord Brahma, together with all the gods and goddesses,
performed a Yagya here. Legend also has it that the ancient lake Sarovar had
appeared miraculously, when a lotus fell from the hands of Lord Brahma and dropped
into the this valley. The image of Brahmaji in Pushkar is in a seated Palthi
position.
This temple built with marble is decorated with silver turtle on the floor of
the temple. The Rangnath temple has been built in southern style and is simply
magnificent. Its images are almost true of life. This temple has an image of
Lord Vishnu, life-size dwarpals (door men) and Garuda pillars showing the mythical
bird styled in gold. Pushkar has around four hundred temples. There is a temple
dedicated to Mahalaskmi, who is the goddess of wealth and the Godamba Temple.
Worth special mention are the temples of Vishnu. Atmeshvara, Gayatri, Savitri
and the old Ranagnath Tourism Development Corporation also provides facilities
to the tourists, specially during the Pushkar fair, when a tented village is
put up.
