You can observe devotees taking a holy dip in the Pushkar Lake and seeking blessings at the only Brahma Temple. IMPORTANCE Pushkar is among the five dhams or pilgrimages that are held in high esteem by Hindus, the others being Badrinath, Puri, Rameswaram, and Dwarka. It is said that in battle lord Brahma killed the demon Vajra Nabh with a lotus flower, whose petals floated down to earth and landed in three places in and around Pushkar where lakes sprang up.  The Brahma temple is the most important temple here and is, in fact, the only Brahma temple of India.
