About Pushkar Fair
Pushkar is a small but very important pilgrimage town for Hindus of India. The famous town is located at about 135 km from Jaipur and 10 km from Ajmer. The Brahma Temple perhaps the only temple dedicated to Lord Brahma in India is located close to sacred Pushkar Lake and is considered to be one of the holiest pilgrimage sites in India. Pushkar is a city of 400 temples and 52 bathing ghats. Pushkar prides itself on being the site of the only temple of the Hindu God of Creation, Brahma. Every November, the sleepy little township of Pushkar in Rajasthan, India comes alive with a riot of colors and a frenzied burst of activity. The occasion: PUSHKAR FAIR. Very few, if at all any, fairs in the world can match the liveliness of Pushkar. Most people associate the Pushkar Fair with the world's largest camel fair. But it is much more than that.The Pushkar fair brings together a large number of villagers from different parts of the state. Some come here to sell. Some come here to buy. Some come here on a pilgrimage.         more...

A large number of traders gather at the Pushkar Fair and set up shops.                      more...
