A small lakeside settlement, Pushkar is revered as the only place on Planet Earth where Brahma, one of the triad Gods of Hindu Trinity, rests. The namesake lake dominating the landscape of this religious centre attributes its existence to the Creator God. Despite being known as a mystical pilgrimage hub, this town has much more than just temples to offer to tourists – from street-side shops to rooftop restaurants.
