Set on a beautiful lake, Pushkar has a charm unlike anywhere else in the state. The city flaunts the world’s only temple of the Hindu Lord Brahma. Filled with a plethora of temples, the city has a lot more to offer for those willing to explore and unravel. The religious and mystic allure of the town is broken by the modern cafes opened all over the little town.
