Loading…Sacred lake at the heart of Pushkar ringed by bathing ghats, a major Hindu pilgrimage site.
Pushkar Lake is considered one of Hinduism's holiest lakes, and pilgrims bathe at its ghats especially around Kartik Purnima. The lake is encircled by stepped ghats and temples; around 52 ghats are commonly cited, with Brahma Ghat, Varaha Ghat and Gau Ghat among the best known. Evening aarti on the ghats draws visitors, and the lakeside is the focal point of the annual Pushkar Fair. Visitors are expected to treat the ghats as a place of worship.
