One of the very few temples in India dedicated to Lord Brahma, standing near the holy Pushkar Lake.
The Jagatpita Brahma Mandir is Pushkar's best-known shrine and among the rare temples in the country devoted to Brahma, the creator deity. It sits a short walk from the ghats of Pushkar Lake and is approached by a flight of steps through a marble gateway. Darshan runs morning to night with a break in the early afternoon, and aarti times follow sunrise and sunset rather than a fixed clock. The temple is at its busiest around Kartik Purnima, when the Pushkar Fair is held.
