Pushkar

According to Hindu mythology, Lord Brahma, the Creator of the Universe, chose Pushkar as the site for performing a Yajna (sacrificial rites). Countless devotees visit Pushkar, which is considered as one of the most holy lands in India. The devotees wash away their sins by bathing in the holy waters at Pushkar. The town has fifty-two bathing ghats for the purpose.
