Brahma Temple, Pushkar, Rajasthan

Brahma Temple is a Hindu Temple dedicated to Lord Brahma, located in Pushkar Town near Ajmer in Rajasthan State, India. The Temple is situated on the banks of sacred Pushkar Lake. It is an important pilgrim center for the Hindus. It is nestled in the Pushkar valley, which lies beyond Nagaparvat and the Anasagar Lake. International Business Times has identified Pushkar Lake and the Brahma temple as one of the ten most religious places in the world and one of the five sacred pilgrimage places for the Hindus, in India.

Pushkar is often described in the scriptures as the only Brahma temple in the world, owing to the curse of Savitri (Saraswathi), and as the King of the sacred places of the Hindus. Although, now the Pushkar temple does not remain the only Brahma temple, it is still one of very few existing temples dedicated to Brahma in India and the most prominent one dedicated to Brahma.
